Lancaster's new E300s were launched outside Lancaster Uni's new sport centre this morning. 5 E300s were present, 4 of which had 3/4 on the blinds and the fifth showing "Investing in Lancaster" or something similar. A Ribble preservation vehicle was also present and took guests at the launch on a tour around campus.
Later this afternoon the 5 E300s will go into service replacing MANs at South West Campus.
9 will go into service tomorrow as two more still need branding and ME are still expecting the delivery of the last one.
Also noticed as one went past me that window branding has been added to the left sides showing "Working in Partnership with Lancaster University"
Also was told this afternoon that the two MANs that came up from Manchester are for ME. Im guessing maybe for the X12 in Aug? If they are hopefully theyll get the whole refurb treatment lol.
Only the one got swapped at SW Campus
the others wer th 1235 and 1245 3s off me, the 1315 3 off me when it got up to the Chaplaincy Centre and the last was the 1426 ex Battery
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Just been looking back at some old posts and came across a few saying various things are happening to the X1 3 and 4
None of them are, so no idea who came up with them.
The only change to the X1 is that it will be picking up opposite the Railway Station, outside the old County Hotel, happy memories, always a gamble whether the last Euston would make last orders, but I digress, this means it will omit the double loop around Fairfield Rd.
Their will be veryt minor timetable changes to one or two journeys. The only major thingis that the 1756 ex battery to Lancaster will be withdrawn
