Evening all,
I've heard a little rumour that Chorley are to get one of Kendal's new Scania/E400s as the PVR for the 125 is to increase by one bus shortly. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
Cheers.

I have heard a similar thing, however Kendal are already only getting just enough Scanias to cover PVR with no spares.
I was told that the Scania for Chorley was an extra (the 10th for NW) shoehorned in.
Gez, over to you....

The Chorley Scania is an additional Scania, Kendal are not losing one.
For the time being Chorley will be recieveing 19019 which has just been repainted and will arrive over the weekend, a decision will be made shortly as to weather a new E400 will be coming in and 19019 move back to Preston other movements in are 47021, 47016 and 47655, 34679 & 34680 will move to Preston shortly.

Oh
yes 47016, and yes service revisions is the reason, regarding the Scania its more likely CY will recieve a new one later on.

I believe 19019 is a Manchester vehicle working out of Hyde Road.

Indeed. Personally think it makes more sense to get an old E400 in rather the splashing out on a new Scan. Note sure how an average E400 will cope with the route though...
Also seems that 47019 has pitched up at CY from KL

AND 14245 is back at KL.

Stagecoach is pleased to announce that due to the success of the extra journeys that we introduced on the X5 service between Workington and Keswick for the summer, these journeys will now continue to operate all year round and become a permanent fixture of the timetable.

There has been some changes to the recent fleet movements, the optares at Chorley are now 47019, 47021 & 47655 and all will be staying. 19019 was in the frame but is now no longer, 17021 will be coming across for a few weeks till the NEW Scania E400 allocated is ready for delivery fleet number TBC, there is also a few odd comings and goings over this weekend only so i shall leave that to see if any of you can spot any on routes they wouldnt normally be on..
Oh and one bit i have forgot..34679 & 34680 will remain at Chorley...lol all will be revealed soon.

Last day of half hourly Seatollers today, although the axe hasn't fell on the open top Volvo's quite yet, one wonders if there will be a future for said buses within the Stagecoach Group? I doubt the two Titan's in Scotland will be replaced by them.

Is there a rumour going around surrounding 20994's future? I have been getting told rumours that it could be withdrawn.

At least this and the other V-MEV example will be getting cherished plates to hide their age. (So everyone assumes they're X regs)
07andrew - I can't confirm either way with 20994, but I can't imagine it has long left being the only NC bodied B10M in the NW.
