Stagecoach in The Lakes Olympian and B10M routes

[159jim]

Hi

Planning a day in The Lake District for the end of August, does anyone know what routes (with good views) normally produce Olympians and B10Ms these days please? Cheers.

Thanks,
Jim.

Sadly there are no Olympians allocated to services around the Lakes; closest you'll get is Carlisle or Workington.

B10M wise they can crop up on most single deck routes depending on what's broken etc, although generally they pop up on services away from the Lakes.

When I went up late May, service Service 78 from Keswick to Seatoller had OT Olympians

*An OT Olympian - SC C&NL only have one, 16534 (P534EFL). Although this is still active on paper, in practice it only comes out if the Tridents are unavailable.

Yeah I meant singular one. Also a closed top one was in use when I was up there as only one trident was out too on the 78 too

16534 is to go on loan to Kendal until roundabout 12th August when (hopefully) 17692 (Trident/Plaxton President) will have been MOT'd and fettled.
