Not a good day for Carlisle!


I took delivery of a new roller blind this morning, and am wondering if anyone on here can help me date it, or even locate which of the old depots it was from.
It is from a Cumberland depot, white text on black background, with 102 numbered destinations, rather than having the places written on the back. The first set of destinations on it are various places around the country, including Aberdeen, Gateshead, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and London. The next set of destinations are Whitehaven local services, followed by Workington local services, then Maryport & Cockermouth local services. It also has Carlisle, Patterdale, Seatoller, Holmrook and a few other places on it.
I haven't managed to find a date stamped on it yet, but due to re-decorating my house, I've been unable to get the full blind rolled out to look on the back of it. It does appear that it is from a National Express vehicle operated by Cumberland, down to the locations at the top of the list being National Express served areas from around the UK.

What time did 33076 replace 34716 on the 75? On a night time they changeover every hour just about. The 8ish one out of Carlisle should always be a Mini Pointer or Solo.

Darts are regulars on the 93 on a Saturday due to lower Citi PVR.

About 21:00 on Saturday night.

MPD on Harrington and Seaton.

Also, does anyone know where I can find a Fleet list for John Hoban? Help appreciated :D

I was told 34048 that set fire this morning. for those who don't know. R.I.P 34048.

I got stuck with JB's Neoplan Tourliner R71 GGR this morning, I must say it is better than their Caetano Algarves and the Sidassa, which has been off for a while.

Not good! Can't really see it making a return, plenty of low floor mini Darts around that could easily replace it, especially after Merseyside have just withdrawn quite a few P reg ones with flip out ramps. Although damage might not be too bad. Haven't seen it myself so don't know how bad it was.

20994 replace 16124 on 30.
47059 went onto 50 after doing staff shuttle.

The MANs are for Lillyhall. Kendal are apparently getting B10Ls (the MANs are too wide/long).

Damage to 34048 is quite bad, got a photo of the it in the depot from the fence and you can cleary see the damage. I will not be uploading it for the time being though. It now has a cover over it preventing people from seeing the damage. It was booked onto service 76 and it obviously took offence at doing a full shift on Citi work! 20908 replaced it which in turn was replaced by a Citi Dart.

The "Love Carlisle" branding got off to a bad start and only 34717 was partly branded.

Manchester 22108 is in the bodyshop gettng some attention to the panel on the doorside, the rest of the bus looked like it had only recently been repainted! Leyland 14259 is all ready for the paint shop as well. 17272 is the latest London repaint.

34214 ended up on service 60 with 33076/33162 neither in the depot or out on the road in Carlisle. 1 possibly in Annan but that is normally 20965's domain. 16336 on the short 685. 52629 was pulled from the 685 and replaced by either 24117 or a B10M.

Forgot to note that either 14234 or 16649 on the 19.10 300 tonight.

34698 out on 62a with the 'Love Carlisle' branding. Got to say, it looks very cheesy to me - much preferred the old branding

Of course its better than Barrows! My camera died, so couldn't get a picture. Straight to the heart of our city! quite big, bigger than the old Carlisle Citi anyways!!!

52629 on CE 600.
20436 and I believe 14234 on LL 600.
47018 on 69.
47022 on short 685, with some nice scrapes on it, that I'd have thought would have been from Buttermere Circulars.

33076 on 60.
34214 on 76.

Rather unfortunate! hopefully see which ones we eventually end up soon. Perhaps 22101/06/16/28/35 currently in Manchester's Reserves... or could be wrong and could be others when they withdraw more - we'll have to see.

20910 was ASDA's today
20923 on the short 302

17017 was whistling loudly at 'high speed' between Flimby and Siddick, wasn't too bad today at all when I caught it! 34616 was on 31.

17017 out on the 30

22108 getting some work done to it at Carlisle before it goes over. They are not for service 505 but are still getting racks fitted! Should be getting branded up aswell!

52629 was pulled when it got to Carlisle and was took to the depot to bring Love Carlisle branded 34704 up to replace a blank Dart on the 67 so that the blank Dart could do thw 18.00 Annan.

33076 died on service 60 and was replaced by 20908. 20924 has returned to service sounding awful, presume this is a temporary measure until 34048 replacement arrives. 34711 is also now branded up but is VOR at present. 20965 at Penrith on Kendal's and 20907 on the 80.

Reays YX60DXA is now branded up for service 64H.

As ever, photos uploaded to usual place.

20923 came off short 302 and went onto 51.
22609 on staff shuttles this afternoon.
17017 running 15 minutes late (approx) on 30 to Seascale. Traffic along the route was clear, drove around it myself to try see where it lost the time.

Yeah noticed that today, looks just as awful.
Interesting about MANs to KL, LL still need something for extra X5s, might be B10Ls I suppose or maybe more MANs will move up from Manc, we'll soon see!

Glad the first E300 has turned up at ME!! Hopefully the rest will follow soon!
