20923 was replaced on short 300 by 14258, which was then replaced by 47060.
34215 was replaced on 50 by 16447, which was then replaced by 35249.
47060 was replaced on 51 by 16651, which was then replaced by 47007, which came down as staff shuttle.
16184 on 30/31. Not sure what replaced 35249 on there to let it go onto 51.
52628 and 52635 been flying around this afternoon.
14234 on 48's.
20436 on X4.
16651 has had its "in Cumbria" removed, ready for its transfer to Chorley
Wow, gotta love Lillyhall allocations! Rather random that after a few days with Oly's and B10M's on short 300 that they had to decide to put a LF on it today when really its not necessary, especially with lack of them about!
47007 always ends up randomly turning up or staff shuttle... when its the best KX51 we have!
I'm sure Chorley could have removed "in Cumbria"
Off very soon then, she performing rather well nowadays... look after them Chorley! Hope 16649 is decent enough!...

Surprised that you missed seeing 14196 & 14208 which were also on 2A's, and 15698 on Short 3's:roll:
So that what was wrong with 16665, the driver couldn't be bothered

KLCH's 56 reg solo was on the 42 this evening.
34218 on 50.
47006 on 51.
47005 and 47061 on Harrington. 47061 was leaning a lot, and making grinding noises.
20473 and 47007 on Seaton.
22607 on 0902 short 300 to Whitehaven, but arrived at 0922. It left again Not in Service.
14234 appeared on time for 1002 short 300.
52635 on 0820 X5 to Cockermouth.
14257 on 48's.
20945 staff shuttle, then appeared to be going onto ASDA Free Bus.
20994, 34616 and 35246 on 30/31.
16651 apparently left Lillyhall today for Chorley.
16447 on 300.
47062 now on short 300.
16124 was on 48, pulled off due to some broken seats. 16733 went on instead.
16124's flip dot was showing "Ntrhside 48" again, with the first "t" flipping to an "o", flipping stright back to the "t", well, poor attempt of a t this time! It is back to showing a version of "rrorry Not Sn Service 000" now as well, after showing it perfectly fine last week.

Probably knackered!
"WELCOME TO MCI BUS VOLVO N615 MPN"
I'm assuming you mean that, which comes up on the dashboard screen. It isn't actually an N-MPN vehicle though, and I'm not sure why it shows that on the screen. The MCI Sedissa body was built on a 1988 chassis (E648 CHS), which previously carried a Duple 340 body.
It is a very driver dependant coach, and its very high gear ratio's stop it going anywhere fast. It doesn't think about changing up into 2nd until it is doing more than 20mph most of the time. Has a very good sound to it though, as all locals should know by now
I wouldn't say it is Pickthall's best coach though. His 2 latest additions, especially his executive one, are the most impressive! (HWE and its interior). These are not my pictures.

You are right i found it on the dashboard screen, I agree with what you say it's not Barry's best coach I like M77 CTL i forgot chassis type though and the reason for that is because you're like a good 3 or 4 feet above the driver.
I like pickthall's but i just want them to try an invest in new vehicles Barry has the money he owns about 4 or 5 flats so why not invest in new vehicles?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
I have had a look at them pics and thats the coach that takes people to Sellafield for B.N.F.L workers it normally goes past my house every morning but if it is not that it is normally one of them Volvo VanHool Alizee
Last edited:
M77 CTL is a Scania, with Berkhof Excellence body.
He doesn't really invest in newer vehicles because the large majority of his work is school work, school kids just trash buses, so no need to put newer, better stuff on. He doesn't get paid any more to put a Y reg coach on a school job than he would an F reg. A few years ago, his old DAF Van Hool had some seat trim ripped off, which led to a school kid slicing his finger open on some metal behind the seat trim.
This week, he has just replaced a D reg Duple 425 with an R reg Neoplan Transliner.
Pickthall doesn't do any Sellafield work, but he does the CenterParcs work on monday and friday mornings, which goes through Workington, using DCZ or HWE, usually HWE I think.

DCZ is booked to do it. The Neoplan gets on now and then for a run out.

3 in service by Friday, 19670/1/2. The other 2 should be in service on Monday and then more in service as they start to arrive. The cascading has started to take place between Stagecoach Busways & Transit. 2 Volvo B10M withdrawls should happen early next week due to the first 2 ALX300 moving around.

Could Newcastle getting so much stuff effect the North West in anyway?

I highly doubt they well want of the old Dennis Darts or Volvo B10M's. Will be some more N/LTN Alexander Olympians off pretty soon and these could possibly move over. Apart from that I would doubt it very much. If the Hull ALX400's move to Stockton then the R/OVN Olympians will be redundant and these are of the long wheel base variety so could be very handy for the North West.

I thought Olys would be most likely but with Manc getting rid of so many we could end up with some of those as well. Who knows!
15685 on 301. It has lost its rear beachball logo, leaving a very clean spot on it
53337 on 1115 X5.
47062 on Workington Towns.
47061 on Maryport - Whitehaven 30's.
47024 sat on the annexe.
Workington Bus Station is falling down again. An inspector was sweeping up debris yesterday, and there was more of it around on the ground this morning.
15685's missing beachball.

From what I've heard its all a bit up in the air
Probably Preston slowing things down, as 16651 is ready to roll! At least we've kept the best one till last 
Pride of the fleet 17017 and 34079 are still VOR.
