20994 is a Paladin bodied B10M (badged as Plaxton rather than NC with it being after the takeover).
They should be at Morecambe for Olympics cover.

Lancaster University Underpass is to re-open on Monday 2nd July. Timetables will be shown on TV screens in Alexander Square. Most routes will revert back to the way they per post underpass closure. The X1 will run around County College before dropping at the Underpass.

I wonder what them 4 Double Deckers are for then ! (3 Brand new, and one secondhand)

Certainly NOT for the X35

I believe that some of the new Scanias that were due for Morecambe, are to be diverted to Barrow for the X35's. After Stagecoach had decided to register it commercially. The three East Lancs bodied Tridents are to be sold by Cumbria CC, originally there were to go in part-ex for three brand new Double Deckers.

Unsurprisingly, the majority of comments seem to want rid of Stagecoach from Kendal - I wonder if they will still be saying that when they realise just how bad KLCH are!

KLCH will not be operating Kendal town services, as Stagecoach has registered to operate them commercially.

At last!

wonder if ME will get Scand later in the year or on the next order...

Also Olympic buses have started to move, some of Manchesters new E400s are now sat at West Ham garage.

mbonwick · 29th June 2012, 20:38

Aberdeen's E300s were on the move yesterday, I saw 5 of them on the M6 around J20 IIRC.

14196 was stretching its legs on 755 yesterday as well!

jonesy3001 · 30th June 2012, 01:50

Morecambes E400s will be going next week,also 14245 is outstationed at morecambe.
Are morecambe still getting the rest of new scania's or have they been diverted to barrow?

Word on the street is that the 3 Scans that Morecambe are due are now going to Barrow for the X35 in a last minute change. As far as I know ME will still take delivery of the 2 that were sat at Leyland a few days ago. In my mind it would make more sense for ME to take one for the 40/41 and for BA to get 4 then upgrade the 42 at a later date. I'm sure all I'll become clear soon.

5 is a nice number.

Indeed which is why I didn't mention it until somebody else did! Although now it seems all 5 due for ME are going to BA...as ever it's a case of wait and see although I'm sure you already know Gez eh?

Perhaps some interest to locals and others. ADL Press Release on Reays recent Enviro200's on CityHopper and also the further 9 on order.

Is it me or does it look like the 'city hopper' branding" has been photo-shopped on in the picture...

I thought the same

Compared to pictures of them in service they are in the right position in relation to the triangles, but the font outline is very white on the press release in contrast to them in service where it is barely noticable!

darrenw29 · 1st July 2012, 19:07

Off topic but what are Reays using on the 55 Lakes Hopper?? Have the ex Dublin deckers appeared after open top conversion??
