Bloody Hell where was the MANs?

Also one of the Tridents bound for Merseyside was sitting outside the Bus Wash at Lillyhall looking extremely fresh and shiny!

 

[Gez.SCNW]

In that case it was 20475

 

[cainebj]

20902 on X4's with an LED. Still sounds absolutely awful.
34218 was on the other extra X5!!!!!
47060 was being used by the fitter attending to 20923. He reversed it into a street sign when getting off the annexe, meaning the street sign now bends out into the road. Oly's often got very close to it when it was stood upright, when coming off annexe for 48's. Now it is bending out into the road more, how long until the first decker scrapes right along it?
16124 done a catch up 302, but replaced in Workington by 22610 before it went out to Maryport.
The driver on short 302's on 1504 departure drove straight through a red light while pedestrians were crossing. Shame I didn't get a photo of it, I'm sure the camera's on top of the street lights will have though..... Fortunately for the driver, it was 47062, which doesn't have CCTV.

Does that mean you know where they are going...lol

 

[TCK726]

Does that mean you know where they are going...lol

No, it means what he says that they are not going to be used on 3's

 

[Dallamlad]

No, it means what he says that they are not going to be used on 3's

Hint hint lol I'm taking that as they are going to Preston probably for 59/61!!

OR that age old theory of 55 Tridents replacing 2004 Tridents to Chorley may come back and haunt us lol. I know ALX400 mentioned CY getting London Tridents but I've just read something and apparently there's a rumour (stress on rumour lol) that due to high passenger numbers the X61 is already been considered for an upgrade...

 

[07andrew]

16447 did the 1125 48 this morning.

An UID NC bodied Oly on 22.

34696 is still on the 104 now and went out on the 18.00 ish to Center Parcs.
34706 on the 71 too! Means it was on the Annan Town and 93 earlier.

Not a good day for route branding...

It's not everyone Andrew and there's a difference between posting allocations and posting pointless allocations that nobody cares about.

I've said it before and I'll say it again even if there's no point. This is a FLEET CHANGES FORUM not an allocations forum. People stray from the topic when they post interesting allocations. 34700 on citi is interesting, good to know it's back in the fleet after all it's work. Paintshop lists are interesting, nice to know what's been done up what's going through CE for repaint and where it's going next etc. In contrast putting UID dart on 38 is pointless, how is that interesting to anyone?

I know there's no point in me saying anything because day in day out you'll keep coming back and posting allocations either because people find it interesting which they may or because you just like to wind people up.

Mbonwick got a lot of bad press because he had a go at you mainly for posting stuff. Did I agree with him all the time no, was he out of order some times and not tactful yes but he was right overall about the allocations. I'm sure some members will disagree with what I'm saying but I've tried to be understanding and get on as best I can and I'm fed up of it.

Why not start your own RUK thread about allocations in West Cumbria? You said you know who's fault it is well so do I and your flippant attitude toward the collapse of this forum is unbelievable.

How is 34700 on Citi interesting? I know its been painted but at the end of the day, 34700 is employed to do Citi Work! I bet if I posted that allocation you would be been shouting and barking all day long!

[stagecoachuk]

47326 arrived at Carlisle today. No doubt it's here for painting.
16397 has NOT been painted, presume it was just in the bodyshop for some minor work.

 

[07andrew]

16184 just flying around as staff shuttle, been a month since I last seen it!

16870 (best oly in Lillyhall) was also on the Staff Shuttle service, the 10:13 from Workington Annexe.

Here comes summer and overheating buses.

My normal Solo over-heated at dinner time, dispite having the coolant topped-up this morning.

UID Solo with an inspector driving on the 14.40 89 from Lancaster to Knott End.

Theres an article in this weeks Lancaster Guardian, about police having crackdown on scrap metals, with a picture of one of Morecambe new E300. Do the police or Lancaster Guardian know something about the E300's we don't know

 

[07andrew]

Some pages appear to have been tore out of this thread! Who's knicked all the pages and staples?

If they're as badly built as the MAN E300's at LL, then there will be a bit of scrap metal coming off them when snapped vent grille's need replaced!

It looks as if the depot may have been used as a staging area or something for inspections unless they did a spot check on someone asking SC for scrap or something but that doesn't sound right.

47024 with its newly fitted front Hanover flip dot display.

Apologies for the van in the way, rather tricky to get a picture with nothing in the way on a Friday afternoon, especially on a compact camera.

At a guess, the flip dot is out of a B10M that has re-joined LL's fleet and been fitted with an LED, with the removal of side flip dot and painting over of the rear display.

 

[Gez.SCNW]

The Policee, Vosa and other organistations regularly use our yard, not many places with a rolling road. I belive the picture actually shows a DAF tractor unit from the IOM pulling a trailer loaded with scrap the 300 happen just to be in the background

I'm just gonna say 5 numbers randomly: 2 0 9 0 2 which has got the L.E.D. out of 47024.

20902 replaced 53338 on 1515 X5, but returned a little while later. Looks like the Profile went back out to replace 20902.
16184 on short 302, replacing 47062 so 47062 could replace 47006 on Harrington & Seaton.

16734 and 35249 were on 31 yesterday, at 15:10.


20902 has got 47024's L.E.D probably.

 

[Stagecoach NW]

Is there an official launch date for the E300'S as they aren't coming out separately.
Also any news yet if the B10L's are coming to Morecambe.
