Stagecoach North West Discussion

[07andrew]

exactly my point and tomoro they'll tell us theres mans on 30 and 31 and plaxtons on x4 and x5 and oh look theres an optare on the 47 *yawn*

Ohh shut up twining! you're like an old man.

Ohh, You needn't accuse me of putting MANs on 30/31, All I put is something different to a MAN.

At the end of the day, all you talk about is Reays on a Stagecoach North West thread.

TBH, non of us here don't give a single crap about Reays. I'm surprised they haven't gone Bust yet!



47005, 47024 and 47753 on Harrington and Seaton.

Yep They are doing Bus Wash rides. Every hour from 11:00 I think, same with the names in lights.

Well if so many people do take intrest in Reays, I for one certainly dosen't I follow to many Fleets.


I had Pickthall's Tourliner R71 GGR this morning on the road. I wonder whats happened to the Volvo B10M Sidassa? It broke a few month back, and hasn't been back since!
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
J@r reading back to previous posts, you were always complaining, about B10M's being on 47. And you accuse us of posting "Solos" on 47.


If you just keep on complaining about B10M's being on 47, We might as well just ignore you simple as that.

Keeping it to a minimum with it being off topic, SIL 8752 is on a different run now (a primary school contract), so will be rather rare you'll get it in Workington. GGR will be the main one to be seen in Workington now on Lakes College work, after they do a school run for Cockermouth School (I think).

It looks like I'll be on that for a few more week then! I think DCZ 4004 is leaving though.

DCZ won't be going anywhere for a while yet! 57 seats are too valuable, gets more private hire work than his newer, better 49 seaters. CTL may well be going though....

Ohh yeah. CTL is going, Barry told me. JBZ 2079 was on the run from Whitehaven School to College.

R71 GGR was from St Joes\Southfield to College.
John Hoban Cheetah does the Netherall to College.
Brownriggs does another school.

 

[KendalKing]

Did you drive for SC at one point, about 1997-98? I remember they used to use trainee drivers on the No. 1 sometimes as conductors (didn;t half speed things up) and a ic of you driving a Solo somewhere reminded me of that.

No, I have never worked for Stagecoach.

I currently do drive a Solo, for Travellers on the 8C's

*yawn*

 

[Dallamlad]

No news on what's coming in for the X12, racking my brain trying to figure out where solos are coming from assuming it is certain solos are coming in!

 

[07andrew]

*yawn*

Yawn silent in future! its all youve done all day!

Amazingly ME have started to brand their new E300s which has completely surprised me because I didn't think they'd bother!

Also SC are spending £500,000 on re-fitting 50 older mid life Tridents with new greener engines. Full press release can be seen here:

47721 on the 67 this morning but replaced by 09.15!

 

[cainebj]

47022 sat in back of CE depot this afternoon, with 20909 and 20924.
47721 must have gone out on Buttermere's.
33076 and 34214 on City work.
22597 was 300-302 this morning.
52629 on 94's.

34700 (painted purple) has had vinyl's applied for Carlisle Youth Zone. It is sat in the depot, hopefully be out soon to get some pictures!


Also worth noting that Reays have lowered some of their saver ticket prices. A Reays Daily Hopper (Reays Day Hoppa as tickets say) has been reduced to £2.50. Stagecoach Carlisle Dayrider remains at £2.60.
Even better for enthusiasts was watching a bus swap-over on the CityHoppers. It appears that Reays don't have enough ticket machines, or machine base plates for their buses. A 70 branded Primo was replaced by a 75 branded Primo on service 70. The 75 branded Primo had no ticketing equipment, so the staff had to find a screwdriver to remove the base plate from the 70 branded Primo, to put it into the 75 branded Primo. By this point, some potential passengers wandered off onto Stagecoach buses.

Wonder why they always brand up the new buses, surprised they haven`t done the scanias.

34218 is a Dart so isn't unusual, It isn't the 1st time it has been on there.

20923 and 35246 aren't really regulars on 31.

22597 came off 300/302 and went onto 30.

Do you understand now?

 

[cainebj]

20923 and 35246 aren't really regulars on 31.

16124 was on 31 decker slot as well.

22597 came off 300/302 and went onto 30.

And here it is in Carlisle, on the 12:10 departure.

stop talking crap 34218 is a mini dart and a couple of the big darts are on 31s nearly all the time

 

[07andrew]

When do I ever talk Crap? Thats your job on here. Criticising people's allocations.

I know 34218 is a mini dart, a Big dart hasn't been on 30/31's for a long time now, I think Yesterday. Before today of course.

16124 and 16649 need their displays fixed, They still have them blank dots in the middle lol. Typical old Preston stuff I take it!

Oh what are you talking about 34218 is never on 31a its usualy on short 302 or workington minibus routes and the big darts are usualy on 2 31a and 31 you always post obvious allocations oh and you said no one is intrested in reays busses on here. looks like you were talking out your backside again hahaha

Act your own age, 34218 has been on 31A before. god sake.

 

[Mattdw92]

The wonderful 20436 came in on the 1750 31 today also, whether or not it started on it today is another thing!

The 31A hardly ever gets busy, increase in passengers during school times, so it would be good to see it on there more being spare. Having an out of Workington hasn't happened in a while. 47007 seemed spare today as it was on the annex around half 4.

They could do with sorting 47753's rear display, has the one dot in corner scenario going on.

17017 going of the radar again it would seem!

It's rather pointless saying it now, 3 years on, but why dosen't 47061 get a rear L.E.D?

 

[rosswatson]

16184 Has also gone missing! 16714 still not back in service.... Thought it only needed new seats fitted? It's had a repaint and new floors....

 

[Mattdw92]

Errr, what's pointless?
47061 does, just doesn't work.... being a rear display there's no great rush to fix it. 47753's has the one dot thing so it does work, just not programmed on the correct channel.

 

[j@r]

i bet people from lancaster and kendal cant wait to get on here everyday and find out which optares have been on 46 and 47 and which mans have been on 30 and 31 they should start boring everyone up here with obvious busses on obvious routes its not me who needs to get a grip andrew
