Huuummmm "New" i think there's a chance that a few Scania's could be coming from somewhere :roll:,Depends when new WiFi one's will be ready for somewhere else :roll:
Chorley? Though I suspect my friends idea of them being to Gold spec is a little off, cant see the people of Clayton Brook treating them very well.
In other news, Preston based Solo 47494 has received a Cummins engine, joining 47489, 25226 & 25227.
Is Lancaster still working with half a bus station?

It was meant to go to Barrow but if it's appeared at ME I assume it's for service with them to boost decker numbers.
ain't for service with us.
Expect to see a couple of interlopers at Carlisle fairly soon if a plan comes to fruition
Any chance they can elope to Carlisle this week so I can have them before I return home 250 miles away?

A quick visit to Lancaster yesterday (24th) found olympians 16795 & 16634 in service, not sure what 16795 was up to as the display hasnt shown in the picture and there was no one on it.
Also, MAN based Enviro300 22595 working route 4, I didn't know Lancaster had gained such a vehicle.

47248 is being re-trimmed and will be the first ME based solo to be in the revised livery when it goes for repaint.
16650 and 16652 have probably gone back to their depots.

And not before time! They'll look grand when they have been freshened up. I assume they will be going for paint straight away? I would have though the ex Magic Olys would be top of the list for paint, if they are going to bother...

May not be around for long then...
Wonder if those horrid little blinds will stay in the 04 solos.

I believe 16650 returned to Carlisle last Thursday and it was on route 104 Friday so I expect 16336 has gone away.
16795 did the 1550 49 from Lancaster bus station to Halton on the 23rd.
Is there a rough date for when Carlisle will get the Fort Bill olys?

AFAIK Neither is correct!
Since the split, I've only seen it referred to (officially) as Merseyside & South Lancashire.

The following has been sent out to Lancaster University students and staff:
Changes to Bus Services - November 2013
Lancaster University has been working closely with Stagecoach to implement suitable service alterations for the benefit of University staff and students following the service changes implemented by Stagecoach on 29th September. The following minor service alterations will occur as follows:
From Monday 4th November 2013
Additional Services 3s - from 09:25 until 17:25 (driver break 12:25 13:25) Stagecoach will operate an additional hourly Service 3 from Common Garden Street (Double-decker) to the Underpass, returning on the hour from the Underpass to Common Garden Street, therefore adding a further 74 seats at key lecture start/finish times.
Service 42 (Blackpool) buses travelling to the University from Lancaster will clearly display the University on their destination boards. All Service 42 buses stop at the Underpass.
From Monday 11th November 2013
The following morning peak Lancaster to Preston buses (via Greaves) will be diverted onto campus to serve the Underpass and Alexandra Park. This will provide additional morning peak capacity through Greaves. The University will be clearly displayed on the destination board on the front of these buses.
The 07:17 Service 40 from Lancaster Bus Station will operate to the Underpass via Greaves, arriving at 07:32.
The 08:27 Service 41 from Lancaster Bus Station will operate to the Underpass via Greaves, arriving at 08:43.
From February 2014
Stagecoach is planning further major service improvements for February 2014. This will allow sufficient time for consultation and for the mandatory 8-week notice period to register the service changes with the Traffic Commissioner.
