Stagecoach North West Discussion

[cainebj]

I am currently sat on 52628, which is doing the short 302 to Workington.

It got replaced by 20945, which in turn was replaced by 47754, so 20945 could go onto Sellafield's.
52628 went onto X4, replacing late running 53339. 53339 then replaced 20923 on extra X5 so 20923 could go onto schools.

Buses away from Morecambe tonight is.

22135 at Carlisle for repaint
16668 at Kendal due to brake down we have use of 16185 which did a shuttle to Lancaster at 1600.
15700 at Scania on Caton road.
52629! Was in depot today to have a slight water leak fixed.

ME seem to be focusing on the MANs at the moment for repainting, think some tridents need doing especially 18328.

Don't think there are many MANs left to do so imagine Tridents will be next.

1. Which was the unfortunate KL vehicle that sat down?
2. For those wondering, it's not actually Scania on Caton road, it's S J Bargh Haulage (who are the main independant Scania dealers round here). Just after the canal

3.Would think 52629 was on Morecambe Sainsbury's contract when leak arose so came in for fixing.

 

[jonesy3001]

Wonder if 16668 was on the 755 that broke down at kendal and they sent 16185 as its replacement.

The driver was having problems with 15700 early on Preston's.

Saw Gez early with a hammer, looking under the bonnet of a Trident.
I can think of a couple of Solo's that needs that hammer!!!!

The back end of 17023, looks very shaddy nowadays

Similar to this;

 

[markydh]

Fans of Morecambe (Morecambe FC supporters club) were running a bus from Lancaster Uni to the Globe Arena (via the number 2 route to the Shrimp roundabout) so could it have been that?

 

[Gez.SCNW]

It will probably have been that ex Bournemouth that lives up at heysham

[mbonwick]

20128/33 are overdue paint, guesses on where they're going?

 

[themaster985]

Stagecoach Optare Solo on suspended tow on the M6 this morning. It was noted near Brock at about 0830 with Heysham Trucks doing the towing at quite a speed.

 

[jonesy3001]

20128/33 are either going to one of the cumbria depots or they have been sold.

 

[07andrew]

[cainebj]

A B10M on 30 today.

20913 was on yesterday, and is on again today, while 22597 is on Sellafield works service 85.

CE allocations seemed a little out of place today.
20544 on 94, which requires seatbelts for the school run.
Seatbelted 20451 on 79/179/379, while 20904 on 600's.
104 branded 24124 was on 79/179/379, covering for either the 79/179/379 branded MAN that broke down in Dumfries, or 20540 which had to be towed in from Annan area.

20133's back end was sticking out of paintshops, the red has been repainted, the rest looked untouched.
16652 was up in the bodyshop from Chorley being prep'd for full repaint. Rear LED lights have been replaced with standard bulb lights.

All down to breakdowns and a shortage of tacho buses. 34700 on the Morecambe contract earlier today but back on 61s now.

 

[Dave The Bus]

I know its not Stagecoach related anymore, but was looking around Preston bus new fleet numbering system (Scanias, both double and single deck starting 30, Olympians 42, solos 20 Tridents 40 etc) when I caught sight of 31215 in service, distinctive because it was in fact a Leyland Lynx, thought they had all gone!

 

[ALX400]

I did say we were replacing all them daft rear lights, , all chorleyfied now, as well as being re-wired at the rear which they were ALL in need of, took a while to get them fit for OUR use
