Spotted a Wifi branded E400 on the 40 this morning. There was one on the 42 on Friday and on a 40 last Thursday. I suppose this is where only having 10 branded for Connect 2 comes in handy!

I thought that, when there were being converted!!!!
There are also making regular appearances on 5 in the evening.

10024-31 are allowed to branch out on other services as they dont carry the full branding like 10014-23.
Theres been a couple of E400s on the 40 today as the scanias were used on the previous night private hires.

22116 which was a recent transfer from ME to Lillyhall was in Penrith this afternoon on (I think but can't be 100% sure) the 108, anyone know why that could be?
22116 went on loan to Carlisle/Penrith after 24122 failed on X9 (I think it was X9 anyway). 24122 was working LL 30/31 this afternoon after a breakdown on there.

Oh I see, why do Carlisle run this X9 service? I havn't seen it on any of the timetable websites..
Funny you say that
If you go on Traveline and do a search for Frizington to Newton Rigg, it tells you to get a bus to Whitehaven then to Workington the night before, sleep in the bus station overnight, get an X5 to Keswick the next morning, sit out in the cold for over an hour, then take the X9 from Keswick to Newton Rigg at about 8am.CumbrianJosh

The funny thing is a few weeks back I got the X4 that leaves workington at 18:15 and as it left the bus station 16337 with ''X9 Cleator Moor'' was coming in.. and I was a bit confused, especially when it had been in Penrith 6 hours earlier.

Are the OT Olys moving onto the disposal list then? If so, a real waste as its only 2 years if that since they were converted.
The Olys in store should read 16642/7/16776.

Does anybody know how th 12 is performing as a route? Whenever I see it the loadings don't seem that heavy, maybe the MANs are a bit big lol.

Also had an unknown Stagecoach liveried coach pass the house twice over lunch time, guessing its out route learning the 113.

22256, 18145 & 17018/19 & 21 all out on the 125 today while Chorley Enviro400 15565 worked the 2X/X2.
A major chemical incident in the centre of Bamber Bridge this afternoon closed the main road through, causing the 125 to divert in both directions. I'm not sure if Chorley/Bolton bound services were missing Bamber Bridge out completely.
EDIT. Forgot to mention that 47008 has entered service at Preston, it was out working the 150 before being swapped over onto the 9. Also, the only Pointer Dart seen in service all day was 34620 while Versa's dominated with vehicles out on routes 1,2,3,4C & 9

A Wifi E400 on 42 and 41 which makes a nice change! At least one Scania on sugar house runs last night, 15700 and an Oly.
Am I right in thinking that Olys are only used on schools and private contracts now?
