It was coming up from Botchergate towards the Citadel at around 1400 ish. Can't be 100% on the time, no photo because of poor lighting.

No that isn't a normal Olympian working then! Should be a B10M, off the 600 IIRC?

20451 and 47722 both out on 66's early evening (47722 up from Stoneraise School, and 20451 out to Blackwell, both before 5pm).
Nothing else exciting really.

47722 should be on its way back to Carlisle from Wigton now!

Yes it should have been a B10 as it goes onto 179 at 1800

It does come off the 600 then. 600/66 and then onto the 179 and then a 79. Not sure if it does another 600 or more 66 before going onto the 179. Was better when the 18.00 179 worked off the 685, you never knew what you would get then.

20909 was on the 685 this evening, presumably replaced 20451 which replaced a Coach?

I think 20451 was on to start with actually. :lol: It was parked up in the bus station at 1220 with Carlisle 685 on the desty.

52408 is now at Stonehaven, and 52409 is at Aberbeen. Possibly the other way around :roll:

The day started with both 52627 and 52629. I noted both leaving the depot early morning and 52627 (IIRC) was in the bus station ready to operate the 07.07 departure.

It seems the sale has been delayed again, still expected to go through this week though

Preston Bus will be sold to Rotala from midnight. The 11 Gammull Lane transfers to Stagecoach operation from tomorrow. 11 vehicles (2 Scania SD's and 9 assorted Solos) will remain with Stagecoach.

Gas Leak, has been shut since last Friday and is DUE to re-open on Saturday, although has been already delayed once so don't hold your breath!
Typical January roadworks, around the Battery is being resurfaced so fun and games trying to get in and out of Stanley Road on the 2's and 5's. Also. 42's to be diverted at the end of the month for up to a week via Elswick, as major roadworks take place on the main road up towards Little Eccleston.

RE: Preston Bus, all Stagecoach branding has been removed from all vehicles, that also includes Citi branded on those effected. Stagecoach national fleet numbers remain used though.

No sign yet also of the 60 reg Enviro 200's on the 86/89s as yet.... thought Frenchwood depot would be using them! Coaches off the X61 seem to be still in use at Frenchwood, likely to be on College duplicates.

Once again a Stagecoach bus brought the traffic to a standstill in Lancaster. 16665 broke-down out-side Bensons for Beds in Brock Street at 11.55. Nothing was able to get pass including both Travellers town buses, and five other Stagecoach buses.

Can't of been much wrong with it, as it was back in use at 15.24!!!!

Makes a change missing runs out with a reason rather than "can't be bothered"
