Stagecoach North West Discussion

[07andrew]

Got todays pictures from Workington up now! All of them just about perfect!

 

[stagecoachuk]

Have uploaded photos to Flickr now.

Never managed to catch 34214 in the sun! Suppose cloudy will have to do for now. 20965 visited Anthorn on the 93 after the 600 while 20977 went to Sillioth on the 38.

20960 went onto the 685 around 18.00. There was no sight of the Coach that should have been on and departed on this run so presumably it broke down on route.

Now we've got to see how long it takes to update the '300' and 'X4/X5' branding
My first pics in Workington for quite a while are on my Flickr too

47024 looks to be on Workington Evening services tonight

Good shots there, have you seen mine from today?

22595 waiting to take over on 2010 (ish) 301 to Whitehaven, forming the 2300 300 from Carlisle.

It leaves at 22:45, it's a 300 from Carlisle - Maryport, then it's 301 from Maryport - Whitehaven, due at Whitehaven at 00:19.

I love the new system, tbh, I find it exciting the non E.U rota drivers on X4/X5/300/302.

Tempting as it sounds to go and get a photo tonight there is no where in Carlisle to get a decent shot!

Just had a looook now, good stuff...and thanks, sun wasn't toooo bad for us today!
And I agree! Let the interesting bus/driver allocations begin

On the old system, Lets say a profile was missing off X4/X5, You'd automatically expect either: 20436, 20910, 20994 or 52628 as it's replacement wouldn't you? Well I would anyway

If you had a Scania missing off 300, You'd be thinking 16447 as it's replacement!

But on the new system, Let's say a profile was missing off X4/X5/X50, You could get any B10M! E.g 20923 on 302 today!


I'd like to see Town Service drivers come onto X4/X5/X50/300/301/302 as well...

Nice weather today, Bad this morning though, on my birthday as well!

 

[Mattdw92]

It would be down to driver familiarisation as well don't forget! Would be nice to see a bit of flexibility though yes. Ohh I would have said when we were up Happy Birthday

Might see the back of 20436 soonish....

 

[07andrew]

Andrew have you seen 47022 yet? PO51 WLN is it?

 

[07andrew]

Andrew have you seen that 47022 yet? PO51 WLN is it?

No I haven't otherwise I would of reported it!

 

[stagecoachuk]

No I haven't otherwise I would of reported it!

Should be in service any time now at Carlisle. Was hoping for it to be out today in Carlisle but it could already be out but based at Penrith at the moment. 47018 was getting a service yesterday ready for service I'm told.

I'll just go to Keswick on the 14th May. And 22610 can't of been 302, because it had 30 on it's display when I seen it coming back from Seaton. The bus coming back from Seaton area I mean!

Flip dots are crap I seen the pic of 47023 in your Flickr album.

Have you seen mine from today? They're better tan yesterdays.

Doesn't look good for 14208 at Morecambe, parked top corner of the yard next to 33171 and the untouched former Magic bus B10M, red steering wheel cover on, couldn't get close enough but from a distance looks to have no tax or disc... if confirmed tomorrow it means that 14196 will be the last operational Leyland Olympian at Morecambe.... will it last until the open day?
20132 was heading away from Morecambe at around 8am this morning.... sadly attached to a Wigley's tow truck.
