But that disgraceful attitude from j@r then was unnaceptable, he made it sound like a little kid was speaking "That makes sense eh NOT". If j@r as nothing polite to say don't say it simple as that
I know some of you think I am cryptic, but for good reasons
So here is what I can let out at the moment
27 buses are in for the open day at the moment
we are getting ten B10 / Wrights from Les
Mr B notes nine MANs are going to Glasgow, some are but not all, some are also going to Preston.
Kendal MANs "TOP SECRET" all will be clear in a few weeks

Haha! "makes sense eh NOT"
What do they teach people at school these days as that obviously does not make sense!

Go back to jar's post from before and you'll find out what he said at the end. Everyone here has good punctuation.

Andrew, the amount of crap you put on here is a waste of time, everyday Allocations, allocations , allocations you give everybody a headache!

I'll try and return this thread to some sanity; when did the legal address of CMS change from Tangier street, Whitehaven to Carlisle, and likewise, when did that of Ribble move from Frenchwood Avenue, Preston, to carlisle?

So what, If I want to post allocations I will do so OK? now I'm being serious.
Have you misread it the thread is called SCNW fleet changes.
Leeds11, you can stick your RUK Account where the sun dosen't shine!

We know full well Gez, wouldn't want you losing your job for a careless whisper now, would we?
That will be the 10 B10L/Wright Liberators from Merseyside
Preston you say? All I can think of there is to replace the Scania Esteems and/or some Darts, there haven't been any route variations/registrations from them....
Blimey, must be something special!
Anything to do with the walks from bus routes that KL started promoting at the start of the season? Branching out into bikes too?
leeds11 - completely agree with you mate :P I seem to mainly get ignored round here, so it's nice to see someone else saying the same thing...

Indeed, nowhere are route allocations mentioned. I dunno about anyone else, but to me "fleet changes" implies vehicles in/out, changes in PVR etc... not the usual everyday stuff, there's no change in that!

Says the person who only sticks his snout in when theres a argument!

Why do you just blame me? Theres more than me on here I'm sick of getting blamed even for the unusual allocations.

I find leeds11 arrogant, he'll need to sort out his attitude. I have nothing good to say thats why i post allocations.

1) Little chance as standees are not permitted on coaches.
2) AFAIK Stagecoach did not put themselves in the frame for Whitehaven Festival.
3) F805FAO currently at LL, presumably for a pre' open day spruce-up.
There's nothing wrong with that! "lurking" (viewing without posting is a very accepted part of forum culture).
Although, you should try and get involved with our discussions about vehicles.
eg. At the moment, I can't come up with any real reason for Morecambe MANs to go to Preston. You give it some thought and you will probably come up with an answer that's sensible!

It's just I'm sick of MANs on the 22:45 300 from Carlisle. 14234 will be awsome!

Hi, sorry to interrupt - I'm from the Guess the Station thread, and without wishing to intrude, we've been watching you lot for a while now wondering if you had realised that this thread is doomed to second place imminently? No worries, if you haven't then it's not important (cringes and hopes that he isn't eaten alive).
Oh yeah, keeping this (barely) relevant to buses for anti-spam purposes, I was on an "Alexander Dennis Enviro400" the other day, and I understand there are some of these up in the NW?

Would have thought it would be by mid-late 90's when the Cumberland ones changed to Carlisle. The Whitehaven offices will have been closed with the closure of Whitehaven Bus Station, but the registered office may have changed before then.
Looking forward to seeing that again! I missed it on Lakes routes over summer. Only caught a poor light picture of it in Lancaster Bus Station in June.

HA! I've been away for a few hours and come back this, it's hilarious.
I would say Andrew that it is unfair you get the lions share of the blame. We all post allocations from time to time the argument is based around how many and what is relevant. I'll be honest I used to post everything I saw, but now I know people aren't interested in normal allocations. If I posted every allocation I saw everyday in Lancaster I imagine you wouldn't find it interesting at all, right?
I think this forum is for everyone, what I love about it is it's not like every other forum where a load of member's all compete to be the number one 'know it all' but on here we all share information and thrash out theories.
BUT this forum is not entitled 'Stagecoach Northwest Allocations' so on this point I agree with Mbonwick.
The post's this evening although they have been funny have been off topic, pathetic and something you would expect to hear in a playground. I don't log in to see what the days allocations were in Cumbria, I don't log in to see comments where people are arguing over the most pointless comments. I log in to see comments made by people like Gez where we have food for thought on what's coming into our region and what's going out and what this means for the future of our local fleet.
It would be a real shame to see this community collapse.
PS: Didn't realise this forum was so popular! Go team!

Are you talking about Whitehaven office? It is opposite Whetherspoons, on George Street.

Are there any service buses that run close to the airport at carlisle on sundays? My train ticket from whitehaven to carlisle is not far off half the price of the city centre shuttle!

Thanks! I was pondering this too, but when there's enough interest in something, people will talk about it... (that didn't really work as a piece of immortal advice, did it :roll:
).This thread becoming suboradinate (
) to the other must mean that these forums are going to the dogs! Anyhow, if you want some analysis for this thread then just ask, I have done a fair bit of work anyway (see graph 4 in sig)
Sorry again for wasting your time...errr...Buses Rule!

Back to business:
Returning to a post from earlier this week. I'm still searching for information on a roller blind I recently got. I've since learned that it will have been made in the early 90's, as it has lower case lettering. (Picture of the blind) After a bit of digging around, I found that ex Shearings coaches acquired by Cumberland had roller blinds fitted with lower case lettering, and also the old Duple Laser's that Cumberland had.
I have produced a list, showing the destination on the front, with the corresponding number on the rear for the driver to check against his list. That list can be found here.
Anyone on here got any info that could help me better locate my blind to a vehicle, or even a depot? Obviously it's West Cumbria, but there was Whitehaven depot and Workington depot at the time it could have been made. I'm leaning more towards Whitehaven, due to how the destinations are laid out.

I'll be back online sunday, Its been good having crack tonight, and the arguements.
Didn't see your post in amongst all of this tonight!
Not really easy on a Sunday. Stagecoach services 94 and 97 are the nearest you'll get to Carlisle Airport by bus, the others are Telfords service 185, and Alba Travel's AD122, but, as far as I'm aware, the only one operating on a Sunday is the AD122.
Ex Preston Bus J113 KCW in service with York Pullman. (not my picture)
