Any idea what O-Licence these Tridents will get put on? You would think it would be Western's but knowing Stagecoach, they'll get put on Fife's and after the Games, Fife will probably keep them as well seeing as they seem to get everything these days...

anyone know how often you can get a Barrow Based Olympian on the 6 from Windermere - Barrow, last Saturday i let it go in favour of another Olympian on a different service and when i went to get the Olympian on the 6 on its next trip it had been swapped so i was wondering if its a regular thing or a rare thing?

Rarely an Olympian, usually a Trident(except Sundays-Optare)

The Tridents are indeed on their way up to the Commonwealth Games.

37106 is to wear a special livery, for a cause that's been seen before ;)

Had my first sighting of 37106 yesterday. It is looking very orange!

Does anyone know why the two route 76 branded Enviro 200s (37089 & 37090) seem to spend most of their time on the 38?

They were only pressed back into service due to non-availability of JPT vehicles I think? Certainly they only went into service after JPT was aquired.

All bar 1 of the JPT Primos are now back on the road, so I'd assume the SPDs are no longer required.

I think this was the case, the Primos are back to make a show of themselves running around on the 112 and 118 with full standing loads leaving people behind

Travelled back from Liverpool on 15905 at 1554 ex Queen's Square yesterday. Is it unusal to see one of these on the X2? I thought 15823 was the usual cover vehicle.

The use of the 13 reg E400s on the X2 is unusual on a weekday as they are required on their booked routes to Blackpool and Blackburn. 15823 is the main cover vehicle for the X2 but with the last of the route allocated vehicles still going through refurbishment anything goes at the moment.

Should be YY14WE? or YY14WF?

S reg ALX300s are indeed up for withdrawal, though 22149 will stay.

SC need more of those. Considering there's only to two of them, you see them everywhere- it's like some sort of cloning experiment.
Which would be good, except they're always travelling the other way, taunting you....
