Err...what do Vale services have to do with open day? If anything, they'll be keeping solos away from the depot leaving more space for some quality vehicles!

Gez - can I request that 14196 ventures out if possible? Always nice to have some Leyland action.

Because I'll be using Vale Services on Saturday thats why. I wern't exactly insulting anyone for asking a question about a bus service.

Easy tiger, was only asking!

If you're intending to get the bus from railway to bus stations, you will be quicker off walking....straight down through town, hang a left at Next and you're there basically.

Cheers, I thought you were being thingy with me because I was asking a question about Vale Services.

I did the bus wash rides the last time morecambe had a open day in 2009

Never been in the Bus Wash before, I was considering having a bash at Carlisle last year, but I ended up not having a go.

Duly noted MB, I will ensure it gets out, or a bit of Gadner thrash, unless of course its already on a Blackpool

For God's sake, will you and Andrew pack it in?

I'm a new member and your constant bickering is putting me off visiting this thread. If you want to have a row then take it to email and spare the rest of us.

*Mods* - if I have overstepped the mark here, I apologise. Severe provocation, and all that... :roll:

Well said TRN481V

No B10Ls for Morecambe. Reckon they're going to Cumbria instead or another region or sold?

Although knackered things, it would be nice to see some move north - Lillyhall or Carlisle. Would have been decent enough for the new X5's, but I have a hunch Carlisle over Lillyhall for some reason if they were to be heading north, time will tell of course!

It would be a disaster if they'd to end up here.

It proved with knackered Solos today, 47754 braking down, I wern't convinced by it when I was on it at 14:08pm today, when the driver started revving it up down Harrington Harbour bus stop.

47753 also struggled with the hills in Maryport on Tuesday, but they'll do us - is better than nothing.

Another 300 due tonight and another tomorrow, they are going straight to BENs, will come to us on Tuesday.
Onto Plan C no B10Ls

If you want something particular on shuttles, Saturday, now is the time for bribes.
RVPT will be running the Lancaster and the xx50 Morecambe.
The rest, well who knows, but I have ten to choose from plus what we have

My Talbot 100 all day every trip haha. I am bringing you an open topper maybe 17012 trying for. Also fetching the new timetable holder pics on my flickr. Martin is bringing 14245 down on a D1 Friday too.

I keep getting asked, if I am going to the Stagecaoch depot open day on Saturday. Alot depends, if I am working or not. Then again, do I really want to see the same buses, that I see every day!

Here comes an allocation: worth posting in my opinion as it is a bit different:

24122 is on the 76 this morning. I've never seen an Enviro 300 in Durranhill before.

20451 & UID B10M on the 62. Traffic on Scotland Road is at a standstill.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Make that 3 B10M's on the 62 now! It's rare enough to get 1 a week on!

34218 on 31.

Long queue of people waiting for the 1534 departure as we saw, which had to be 34218, amount of people normally nearly fills a MAN on a normal day!
Ironic really with it being kept to the 31A recently! ...35248 was on the 31A today with 20923.

As I left for home, cainebj tells me that 35247 has just came down on Staff Shuttles - first appearance since its accident around Woodhouse on the 2 on the 14th April.
Glad to see it back!
