Stagecoach North West Discussion

[07andrew]

I did not say Morecambe was in Cumbria. I meant I would pop down to Carlisle to have a look. I'm sorry to hurt your feelings!

And I did not know that Cumbria and Lancashire had the same fleets, It could of been Stagecoach in "Cumbria" or Stagecoach in "Lancashire" I am so very sorry!

 

[j@r]

he said he was taking a run to cumbria not morecambe or lancaster theres some very picky people on this site . rant over ha ha
i saw a m.a.n on the 300 today there must be a new double decker off unless it was on some thing else

 

[07andrew]

Plus I'm only 17 I'm scottish and If I don't know where Morecambe is, I'm sorry, I obviously did know where Morecambe is but it's incase it happens in future.

Just so we're all clear, my post was aimed at TheHovisKid. I merely quoted Douglas to emphasize my point.

 

[Blindtraveler]

god aint it great how easily we can all sort things out these days? a vast improvement lol!

 

[rosswatson]

Does anyone know if 16447 is now in revenue earning service from Morecambe?

Here it is in Workington on service 50...

Yes I saw it in a Ripley a week or so ago.

 

[07andrew]

Does anyone know if Cumbria have a Open Day for the buses? If there is I wouldn't mind popping to take a look at your fleet.

 

[mbonwick]

2nd June, I believe. Lillyhall (West Cumbria) depot this year.

Off road at the moment with brake faults. Keeping 16103 company in garage thats been of road for last week.

 

[stagecoachuk]

24121 is the latest repaint out of Carlisle and has lost its branding.

20899 is in the paintshop now along with 34702 and the Enviro from Lillyhall.

 

[blair250]

i maybe wrong but i think stagecoach Newcastle's 19151 is back seen a old looking enviro 400 at walkergate and the upper deck was very dirty

 

[Ado 16]

Possibly mad, but going over Skerton Bridge on Monday, three deckers overtook my bus in what I can only suggest as Brighton and Hove Buses livery. Cream over red. They headed over the bridge quite rapidly before heading in Caton Road direction.

 

[mbonwick]

Not mad at all, 99% of vehicles deliveries from Wrightbus now come through Heysham, so inevitably they all have to come through Lancaster.

 

[07andrew]

Is anyone going to the rally in West Cumbria then? Have any of you's any been before?

 

[rosswatson]

The Depot is two mins up the road from my house, so I will be attending. Been Morecambe twice and Carlisle once too. Morecambe is my favourite...

16103 is back, ran a 42 this afternoon. 16877 was also on the 42 just now. Seem to see the NCs on that service quite a lot!

The misses and myself are planning on going, if I am not at work.
As I need about 31% of the buses, which are allocated there.

Correct AF168 and AF169 along with one that came in Tuesday evening shots on my Flickr

 

[mbonwick]

Highlight of the Period 11 fleedcards is 17246 (yes, that short Trident that was rejected originally), has appeared back on the C&NL fleetcard, listed as down for refurb.

Why any depot would want it I don't know, and there's always the issue of its length....

Gez, over to you....

Thank you. Made a change! They were certainly bustling along. (No pun intended). Like Cowboys running through enemy territory! (Excuse my overimagination!)

16327 in Carlise bodyshop for paint prep.

20131 and 20474 are the next B10Ms to be treated once 20899 is finished. Doubt that 20474 will see service at Carlisle after returning to Kendal 2 weeks ago.

18381 also present for repaint.

34702 and 22609 should be out of the paintshop this week. 17221 also start the process.

24121 has not been repainted but has lost its branding and will act as an extra spare.

Does anyone know whether the double deckers in Lake District liveries have been away to the paint shop? If yes, are they still working Preston to Blackpool 61s?

I know the reply is late but I shall also be attending the open day...... Be good to see where Lillyhall position the the buses and whether they move them so you can get some good pictures in the sun.... only time will tell.

That one was scrapped a while ago. He's been using B14 CWR for spares, and has recently purchased ex Barrow 40017 (and ex Grant Palmer) for spares.
