You've got to remember, the 464 Versas are the only ones in Transdev which have the same Mercedes-Benz/Daimler engine you would find in a Solo...having been a driver on the route, the engine isn't up to standards for the loadings/demands it was specified for.

Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire (unsure if all other OpCos are included) are under contract to Vix until 2026, I've been pestering for 2 years now to get different machines and tonight got told, we're still under contract until 2026 with Vix...

Lancashire County Council has bid with the intention of splitting between Preston Bus and Stagecoach (both CNL and MCSL). The lion share would be 31 double deckers (Volvo BZL/ADL E400EV) going to Morecambe to replace E400 MMCs on Services 1/1A/2X/100, 28 unspecified vehicles for Preston for...

Volvo B8L/Alexander Dennis Enviro400 XLB? Stagecoach Cambridges are DPH61/37D (98 seaters)...

Word going around Cumbria & North Lancs is, we're receiving ADL E300s from Scotland but no idea where yet, anybody any idea if they'll come from here or North/West?

Lancashire County Council requires destination and ticket, most other ENCTS places don't require this. I often ask why we can't just get rid of paper tickets for ENCTS and this is the reason always given to us.

Rumours circulating are MCSL are taking ovewr control of services 40/41 (Preston-Lancaster/Morecambe) from CNL? Anybody heard anything similar?...

Stagecoach 555 Lancaster to Kendal which then changes to to the err...555 Kendal to Keswick...or Stagecoach 685 (Carlisle depot) which is Carlisle to Brampton then that changes to err...685 to Newcastle. Stagecoach North East have their version of the 685 registered in a different place along...

There are rumours Cumbria & North Lancashire are gaining some 19xxx E400s either from Manchester division or further South, anybody heard any rumours if it's true and if so, any idea which ones are going to transfer?

AFM 2W is still running around, it made the trip to its birthplace at Lillyhall for Leyland National 50, and I think LN51 as well. Not bad going to say I used to clean it some 22 years ago, it has now been restored to as-delivered condition including the reinstatement of centre doors.

The Darts had 'T' after their fleetnumbers in some cases (indicating Tidal damage)

Well, Optare/Switch built new Solos for Sargeants, Flintshire Council, Hatch Green (these 3 having 72 plates) and London Fire Brigade (on 23 plates) so I'm wondering if they're doing what they did with the Omnidekka and keeping the product as a special order product?

10559/60 were originally meant to be Morecambe buses (hence the lack of 555 branding) but moved to Kendal, 559 some time before 560

I've heard multiple rumours that Optare/Switch has started doing small numbers of diesel powered Solos again after the electric side of buses fell off a cliff...is anyone able to confirm/deny this? I know there have been the sporadic 'new' Solos built but only in a single digit numbers bar the...

The Solos have WiFi and USB chargers, the Stratas don't (however when it was announced Transdev had won the Pendleside routes, it specifically said brand new buses with WiFi and USB chargers will be introduced)

What they don't tell you is, you start at Rosso on £9.52 an hour if you train with them £10 if you already have a license...then if you behave yourself, you MAY get offered the chance to transfer over to the better money...

Having recently worked at Transdev (Blackburn based Rosso) for 5 months (it's all I could handle), the problems within the company seem comical at times. Here is my input about the 'amazing' bus company (most are based on issues at Intack and management there):- Duty Manager inability to answer...

Cheers for that! I'd like to know what the A and P stand for in the PMT ones ideally....I originally thought the P was for OPtare in the IPM fleetnumbers on Metroriders/Solos but then got thrown off with the A in SAD on the Optare Deltas....

Moderators...I apologise if there is already a thread explainging this but I spent some time looking... In the meantime Maybe someone "in-the-know" could tell me what the 'P' stands for in the MPC/IPC/IPM fleetnumbers used on the Metrorider/Solos used by Crosville/PMT.....me and a friend have...
