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![]()

i'm in Carlisle tomoz though and even better on monday i will be on my favourite B10M sidassa SIL 8752 Which lives on a N---MPN vehicle.
I could only find 35248 on Moorclose 51.
24123.PX59 AZN on 104. forgot fleet number haha.
"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?

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 AlizeeJ B Pickthall Volvo VanHool Alizee DCZ 4004
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.
Probably knackered!
16184 on as well. Looks like 16331 has disappeared...
16331 on the annexe about 11am today with a bit of a lean on!!!
The normal Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 for Walkergate depot (Newcastle) have started to arrive now. There are 14 in total. Not long after the delivery of these has finished we will start to see the Hybrid Enviro 400's arrive and put into service. These will displace other Enviro 400's around the North East it is anticipated
Newcastles new ADL Enviro 400s have entered service... only seen two of them NK60DNJ and NK60DNO and were on a rather quiet service 12.
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.
It was on later to, with even more lean!!
