Have any other MANS ben given LEDS or was 22809 just a one off
Numbers 17325. 17271 and 17283 (I think can't quite see in the pic)
Interesting as 17283 is for Cambridge, left there Friday, the open top conversions were said to be being carried out at Lincoln, may be being done here.
Wll have to delve further

Think it was just a one off because its flip dot broke...
22809 - a one off so far.
Definitely 17283 in that pic Gez, just looked at the original huge size version lol.
I'm surprised that NW have a reputation for doing OT conversions....will we be seeing more for Newcastle Sightseeing then?

Could be my mistake I couldn't really see the number in the picture!
Gez reliably informs me that this was due to the A591 being shut at Stavely.
20459 formed the 1725 I think (was working inbound to Lancaster on 555 anyway)
18358 was a Holme about 30mins late (if it was originally on 1725) or over 90mins late if it was 1620.
Aye Karen turned up with the B10M, looke dta me daft when I asked what she had done with her top half Twas the 1720 you clocked arrived in at 1738. The 1620 dropped his pax at Carnforth onto one of my inbound 55As

Screw Carlisle! what are they gonna do with 47022? put it on 69 everyday, that's about it. 47721 and 47722 can both easily go on 77/77A, They're route branded, Isn't the PVR 1 or is it 2 when it operates in the Summer?
47023 has been on 51 today if I haven't already mentioned it.

The A591 was closed today following an fatal accident between Plumgrath and Staveley.
Believe that the 555's were diverted via CrooK & Bowness, can anyone confirm please.
Traveller's Solo YE52 FGX broke-down yet again today, twice!

Two in the summer. If one brakes the spare Merc goes on. This vehicle has a manual gearbox. New drivers at CE are trained for automatic vehicles. You can see why the Merc needs to go.

I think John Hoban's brand new 11reg Plaxton Cheetah looks the part!
I ended up with JB Pickthall's Caetano Algarve this morning to Lakes College, I always used to have SIL 8752 (Volvo B10M Sidassa) but it's doors are broke (In fact I think it was ME who broke the door I opened it while the coach was stopping to let us on!) But if SIL 8752 isn't available I normally end up with
M77 CTL (Scania with berkhof body excellence)
So has 34079 definitly been withdrawn then?

You say put it on the 69 every day. The board does a lot more than that. Its out from 1st things to very late at night. 685/69/521/66/38/75 and I think it does a 66 in between the 685 and 69 in the morning.

I would be suprised if anything for Busways gets converted over here. They get done in house at Wheatsheaf depot which is the same sort of setup as Lillyhall and Carlisle into one. All the Leylands were done there.

34214 ended up on the 71 last night for some reason after being on the 93. 20451 was on the 600.
Wonder why they felt the need to send 33161 to Preston first then! They are welcome to 33162, its absolute crap!

Why replace Enviro 300's with Enviro 400s? Also, they should keep away from Scania Enviros they are rather crap! As for second hand ones I doubt that will ever happen. You will be lucky to find 2nd hand Scania Enviro 400's!

33162 is out on the 38 today! Shame I cannot force myself to go and get it...

I forced myself, it was painful... :roll: 34711 was on earlier!
52626/7 on 685.
20994 and 20910 on LL 600.
Reays had B10 CWR on the 39 this morning, without a ticket machine. What. a. joke. :roll:
Also, 75 branded PX10 ACF was on the 64 whilst an unbranded Primo was on the 75... make sense? :roll:

33163 completes the trio of Marshall bodied Darts now in store and minus discs at Morecambe, all appear to have been withdrawn at the end of last month when their tax ran out. It joins 33171/2 there and appears to have arrived on tow, with the front end off... probably the fastest its traveled in a while!
The Big Lemon 777 goes green! (temporarilly!!!) [not my picture]

That looks sickly, Lime green I prefer. I can't wait until P12 fleetcard comes out!
I was on 47059 on short X5 this morning and the driver was going in 1st gear for the whole way! I had a bloody Dentist appointment at 8.55am for Pete's sake It only got there at 8.50!

I Like your sig about the Camera fleet, I had a camera a couple a year back that had to get withdrawn from my fleet (StageCAMERA North West) because of a cracked screen!

Thanks for that Andy. Very handy to know. I will be able to get 34214 on the 71 again then as I missed it last night and its the only MPD I dont have on there. Means there will be B10M's on there frequently too!

Hopefully things will soon settle down, and mini Darts stay on
Dont go and spoil things Brett!
a few B10's here and there for photos will not do any harm at all!Dont go and spoil things Brett!
Wouldn't be so bad if 33162 and 34214 had proper LED's in them instead of that Bright Tech sh*te
Might actually manage pictures of them again with the full LED on show at some point! Ulsterbus's Vultron LED's aren't much better.

Must admit I have photos of 33161 while it had its LED and 33162 on just about every route they could possibly go on at Carlisle for the last 18 months and you probably couldnt tell going off the photos! Utter useless blinds. Im having a bit more luck with 34214 though...

33076 is on the 38
33162 on the short 685
34214 on Annan, 38 & 71
47722 on the 685/66/521/66/38/75 as usual
20943 is on the 67/68
34048 has been repainted and is on the 76 looking a lot smarter.
20910 was on the only Lillyhall 600 that I had time to see.
20895/20979/20966/20908 all parked up against the fence at the depot in that order. 42545 was inside with 42672 & 16393 in the corner ready for service shortly. 4 Darts in the depot and 3 Enviros off. 24120 was being worked on by MAN.
52629 was in the bodyshop with......wait for it...... London 17273 which has had its centre door removed and is all sanded down ready for the paint shop.
Also, Telfords had the Blue Merc on the 127 and the White Merc on the 185 for a change. B12CWR on the 95.
