Cheers, must be doing some heavy work on. Wonder if it'll be next for paint/ the other 3 have all been done recently and last time I saw 17023 it looked it could do with a touch up!

Wonder of all the closed top S reg's will ever come back together at a single depot.

21003 and 40033 out of service at Uni

Fotopic still not up, this seems to happen every year so hopefully it will return soon. As ever rumours are going round that fotopic has gone bust but nothing official has been announced and these rumour went around the last time there was an outage.

If it doesn't come back it seems people are moving over to Flickr!

Think it's been down for longer, at least since the beginning of the week, but I can't remember when I noticed it!

So now that Merseysides E300s are beginning to go into service does anyone know what they are actually losing lol? I think it's certain that the B10Ls are going and then around 10 of something else, either old Darts or B10BLEs.

Pic of one of the new E300s:

Apparently the 10 B10L's, the 9 P-YCW Darts (Wright bodied, no ramps) and possibly 3 of the P-DCW Darts (East Lancs bodied, wheelchair ramps fitted). Would possibly make more sense to lose some of the non-accessible ex Hong Kong Darts rather than the accessible P-DCW ones, but I suppose the higher capacity of the ex HK ones compared to the P-DCW's could be needed.

Been an article in a local newspaper today about changes to X4 and X5 routes. Residents on the X4 side of the route being unhappy that their service will be gone in school term time, October half term, Christmas holidays and February half term. Over the Easter holidays, May half term, and summer holidays, the summer only X58 route will be serving the current X4 route between Cockermouth and Keswick, rather than the X5 route it previously served. Unfortunately, I can't find the article on the websites.

Did you or anyone see the other Harrington or Seaton allocation? I only seen the previously mentioned. :D

Because Lillyhall are getting more "Relaxed" on town services LF allocations they might as well send PX56 reg darts on Harrington and Seatomn routes they can squeeze through wetheriggs road and that's the only tight road on the 46 route.

This reminded me because I am in 1 of your photo's. I was on 35246 on Harrington on 13th November 2010. 35246 was coming out of Poole Road when I see you's take the pics

It depends on how badly cars are parked on the route. At times, even a Solo is rather tight.
All 5 of the long Darts are needed really. 1 on 2, 2 on 31A and 2 on 30/31. Having one of them on something else often means an extra step entrance on 30 and 31.

Forgot to mention earlier that 16447 has been out on 300's.

Can I just say a comment about the R---NBV's I must agree with Cainebj 16655 was the best to ride on It's just a shame it Isn't with us nomore :(

I thaught 16653 was better than 16652 I must disagree with some folk there 16652 sounded a wreck in it's last day's


They were not in good condition for whatever reason all them 4, they have recieved intensive attention since arriving which include complete re-wiring at the rear, new light cluster's, larger fuel tanks and a few other Chorley comforts to make them better :D , they are now running a million times better and once repainted will look al nice and bonny again, they didnt leave Chorley in that condition al them years ago, bear in mind they were on 125/126 for years and coped very well...:)

They are now flying machines.......:lol:
