Beat me to that!

Let's just say accuracy leaves something to be desired...

Your websites knackered for a change!

Maybe you'll need to change your webhost!

22104 was on 30 if not already reported.

aha... Schoolboy error on MB's part (in his defence... do you see that michael... i'm sticking up for you!!

)

MB has changed the title (to the wrong address

) of the link in post#1, and left the link pointing to old site!!

HERE is a temporary, until he sorts it!

You been on the Vimto Michael??

mbonwick · 17th September 2011, 23:49

http://mbonwick.cu.cc will be the new permanant address for my site. (And yes, I have fixed the first post!)

RE the gearboxes, that post did originally say "although most are 3 speeds" and I tried to say "only some are 4 speeds", but failed

EPIC FAIL!

In other news...
34218 has just had a nice rare appearance on the last 30 Into Maryport about 23:55 (and was choc-a-bloc), before running dead back to Lillyhall!

Aye, no one is perfect - even I'm not that perfect unfortunately

20905 is now back in bloody Lilly's reserve fleet.

They should keep it on there on sunday as well. I have noticed on Solo's that it is rather packed going into Workington of a sunday.

Been at LL for a little while now. saw some use elsewhere.
although, if we do need an extra vehicle this coming week due to offages, and the imminent PVR increase on 30/1 from monday, i would assume this would be the vehicle, having already been fitted with an LED display, and also having already been an LL vehicle in the past.

Personally i would prefer 20966... That's the one with the front end off 20768! (woudl be like it's back to haunt the depot!!)

In all fairness, seating capacity is similar, all you are really gaining is an extra pram space. Long darts could be feasible though.

mbonwick · 18th September 2011, 00:00

20966 doesn't have the front off 20768 unfortunately....when CE tried to mate the parts up they found they wouldn't fit! Obviously the body had changed in the intervening 4 years.

20905 must be off reserve then, I don't recall it going into service will LL after KL took 20795 to replace it.

07andrew · 18th September 2011, 00:02

Aye agree there I used 34218 as an example in case the long darts rattled themselves to death on sundays. 34616 is a good example for rattling.

It's Correction central tonight!

although it does at least have 768's front grille with the holes (albeit covered from behind - if you look at a front end photo closely, you can see it!)

905 was in service at LL BEFORE KL had it.

And it was S**t...

913 isnt too bad... fairly quick nowadays... but in fairness should come with sickbags with every ticket!

I'll give 913 benefit of the doubt and say it is better than 20918.

15683 was on a 301 today. to Hensingham Hospital.

jonesy3001 · 18th September 2011, 00:16

Is 16351 gonna be the next bus to yo-yo between ME and KL like 14235 used to do?

mbonwick · 18th September 2011, 00:39

Bloody hope not! I hope it's only here until 18364/another Trident turn up to replace it and 14196..
