They must have gone back from where they came then!

The four Double Decker's, that were due for the X35's will not be turning-up. Due to Stagecoach registering it on a commercial basis as the X6.
Some of the services which Stagecoach were the prefer bidder, will now be operated by other operators including Travellers. One such route is to have an 62 reg'd Streetlite on it and myself as the driver.

I assumed from your signature that Streetlites were on the way! Look forward to seeing them, assuming we are talking about Lancaster? Although if there is only one Streetlite maybe not...

Magic Bus 16762 at Carlisle from Chorley while 16653 is here for repaint along with a ME Trident. 19034 just about finished.
Off topic but does anybody have any photos of 14245 throughout it's time with Stagecoach (On the road, depot or Open Days) they could possibly send to me. Not fussed if it's in Stagecoach livery or Cumberland. The earlier the photos the better.
If they could be sent to [email protected] I would appreciate.

Could be making its way slowly to Fife, stopping over at CE or indeed a more healthy Oly from the reserve selection sat at CE could go to Fife with 16762 been repaired properly, painted and put into use around here. As far as I am aware 16762 was for schools, which will be going back very soon so may be more convenient for Fife to take an Oly that can be put into service immediately.

few things that may or may not be of interest...
I was lucky enough to ride on both 14252 and 14256 on the 555 today
256 was a little bit sluggish on the steeper roads but 14252 was brilliant! it was placed on the Lancaster 555 for at least part of the afternoon(the 1240 from Kendal and 1425 from Keswick at least)
also 20908 seems to have been fixed and is in service again, it was in Windermere for a bit then went on the afternoon 508 with a very young looking female driver!
Finally 52629 was circling around Penrith town centre with private hire on the Destination display and a Carlisle inspector at the wheel, it did at least 2 circles of Penrith...

why was it in Penrith? I don't quite understand the Sainsburys contract thingy..
Also the reays lakes hopper service has been renumbered as either the 555R or the 599R depending whether its going to Keswick or Grasmere..

I don't remember Reays registering their route number changes which I am pretty sure they are required to do...
EDIT: Apparently VOSA does show the change.

To add to that, some cab area pics would be welcome and very advantageous, for reference, i.e. Showing ticket machine, etc. As Stagecoachuk says, the earlier the better.
Cheers Guys

Hello all,
I saw Scania/E400 PX12 EFD on an X2 in Birkdale on Saturday afternoon. Is this a loan to Preston or a permanent allocation?
Cheers.

not Stagecoach but I noticed on here a week or 2 ago that someone was talking about Reays taking over the Apollo 8 services on the 106 route, well the new timetable for the 106(starting in september) has appeared on the council website and interestingly Reays have only taken over the Stagecoach operated services operated from Penrith and it's actually Kirkby lonsdale coaches that have taken over Apollo 8's services.

Me and a fellow forumer were chatting the other night as why a certain bus was parked on the back fence and had it been withdrawn?
I said l wont know til the day after, and went in yesterday and it had, but which bus is it?
