E300s 27774, 27775 & 27780 have moved from Preston to Aldershot, presumably in exchange for the Scania E400s.

I understand that they have gone to Andover

Thanks. I seem to recall from past years that GM drivers crewed the buses but they borrowed a few RF Tridents to break the E400 monotony. Trouble was the more interesting buses were largely confined to evening shuttles, or at least Sunday, rather than Saturday, daytimes. Last time, I got absolutely drenched for my efforts and virtually all the M&SL buses I saw had actually started life in Manchester anyway!

From pics I've seen on Flickr today, Merseyside's contribution to the Parklife shuttles are perhaps unsurprisingly, the recently transferred Coastliners from down south....have seen pics of 15591/2/3/5/9 at least, plus at least 3 or 4 Gillmoss E300's on rail replacements in the Manchester/Bolton areas, pics of 27288/91/720 so far have appeared on Flickr in the Manchester area today.....

Stagecoach Morecambe, today held a public consultation on proposed service alterations in the Lancaster area. Service alterations which have already been submitted to the Traffic Commissioner!

So whatever people say is just going to get ignored.

Maps n'stuff here

I'd have preferred it if the 1, going back to Lancaster, served the stretch of Heysham Road past the shops and library, rather then Kingsway again, but...

Whilst I agree that there was a need for network review. I can help but think that these alterations are going cause more problems, then they resolve! Why renumber the services, when there was no need too?, plus there already is a service number 1, which is the Park & Ride. Plus the new number 1, got two different routes, which will confuse people all the more!

How many people are going to board the Park & Ride, thinking its the new number 1, also how many people are going to broad the new number 2, thinking its the old number 2.

Mossgate Park, which had two buses per hour, suddenly gets six buses per hour. Whilst other areas which use to have two buses per hour, will have none. The Marsh, which had half hourly service, goes to every 40-mins. I can remember the Marsh not that long go having a 15-min service.

Looks like Morecambe de pot, are having a second attempt, at rearranging the bus services!

Eighteen are due for Morecambe, as well as one for Carlisle.

Can anyone please confirm which livery open toppers 17217/77/489/90/5/692 are currently being painted into? Steven Knight Media have mentioned both LakeSider and Lakes Connection.

similar to the MMC deckers and Volvo open top deckers.

tjwpsv · 15 Dec 2018

Thanks, jonesy3001, but the MMCs and the Volvos are not in identical liveries. The Lakesider Volvos are predominantly lime green, while the Lakes Connection MMCs main colour is sky blue.

mbonwick · 15 Dec 2018

Lakes Connection - i.e. mainly blue.
In theory they shouldn't really appear much on Lakesider (599) duties, hence the Connection colour scheme.

Ferrymill Motors E200 MX14FUP is currently at Gillmoss.

childwallblues · 25 Jan 2019

When I was travelling between Carnforth & Lancaster, on a Stagecoach bus, but my phone thought that I was on a First bus! As I was picking First Bus WiFi from somewhere.

.

Could it possibly be an ex First bus that a Stagecoach acquired?!

jonesy3001 · 4 Mar 2019

There are no ex first buses at Morecambe depot, they might use the same type of WiFi.

I am not aware of any ex First Buses in the area.

Possible, but still shouldn't have been saying First Bus. FTR I was on a non WiFi bus at the time.

gka472l · 5 Mar 2019

Could it have been a First Transpennine Train passing?

I was nowhere near the railway at the time, the last time I was anywhere near a First bus, was when I attended my father-in-law's funeral in Heywood in November.
