Barrow? What they going up there for? Will keep my eyes open for the newbies! I heard they'd be out and about for testing before their Holiday!

1 of the Purple ones is long term VOR while another is also off at the moment, which might have something to do with it. Barrow are struggling for low floor buses.
Purple ones will be going back after the contract comes to an end and will hopefully never be seen again! Awful things!!!

Kendal 47055/7/8 are all now repainted.
The Carlisle wrecker is now in the latest corporate livery too.

I hope they are never seen again! I've heard some interesting tales about the X35s future and thinking about it Tridents moving from ME makes perfect sense...
It will be interesting to see if Stagecoach keep hold or not, I know they weren't the preferred bidder, but it doesn't mean the preferred bidder will definitely take the contract on.
Either way, those council owned Tridents are awful and need replaced. Just hope the won't re-appear in Cumbria.

Indeed, 10019 is currently working the 2a with an inspector on board as well as the driver. 10031 sat at the bus station.
Also one of Travellers Merc coaches sat at the bus station getting mechanical attention and was later towed away by an 05 plate ford focus which was quite something to watch, cheaper then a wrecker I suppose! Another Merc turned up 13.30 to replace the failed one on town services.

Correction, It was working the Mon, Wed, & Fri only 435 Silverdale service.
The tow truck, finally towed it back to the depot. After the tow rope snapped twice, due to the car NOT being powerful enough.
Former Stagecoach Manger Wayne Hold thought he could tow it back to Carnforth with the car.
Which particular bit of our empire did Mr Hold manage?, would be very intersting if it had happened next Friday. Small car towing bigger coach hhmmm, what a shame I've been locked in the office all day and missed it.
Had a ride home on 10028 not as comfortable in the navigators seat as the Scania.
Speaking of Scanias our extra ones will be here very shortly

Is Wayne Hold also known as Mr Bean?
What kind of vehicle will be tried next to tow a Bus, how about a sit on mower or a Vespa moped?
I find this quite amusing!

Last I checked they were due in October but the delivery date may have been moved forward.

I woul think October, only on the basis that the Scania single decks due for East Scotland at St. Andrews are due then as well.

Indeed, I don't think any Scans are to be produced a all until October, MEs are some of the first ones.
However if Gez is suggesting they are due soon things may have changed! Unless October is soon lol.
three weeks time
