I don't suppose you know how many seats there are in the E350Hs Gez?
Guessing the Gold ones for Perth seat less than Bluebird's?

Solos 47482/83/88 & 89 are all working off Preston now, 47488 still carrying route 84 branding though 47489 has lost its.

As far as I know it leaves Fleetwood with 5 Versas and 2 Enviro200s based there.

I dont think 17023 will see service round the lancaster/morecambe area again also along with 17024 as that is the other S reg that is awaiting an engine(VOR 51 days!).
Also 22806 is at carlisle for repaint,14256 and 14267 are the other kendal buses that are outstationed here.

New engines for both would be good, reconditioned ones don't seem to do very well, or maybe it's just 17017 lol.

22806 is not so good either. Chucked all its oil all over Carlisle yard and the back of it is now black.

For those interested, ex Morecambe 18380 has been out and about in service with Barrow, working route 7 today still with in Lancaster fleetnames, with reserve 16441.

18278 is the only X35 Trident out in service. One of the 6/6A branded Tridents and 3 Volvo Oly's were the other's. Unfortunately on one of my photos, 18278 was operating to Kendal with Sorry Not in Service on the blinds.
6/6A had 2 Olympians on it.

Did wonder which one it had been, as I've missed the news coverage! cheers Michael.

Would have made the effort and gone to see it in the Lakes if the weather was a little better! My inkling was on 17012 doing it :lol: hopefully the rain held off when the relay arrived, seemed to avoid the rain whilst in Workington.

From the pictures on the BBC live feed it looked like all traces of Stagecoach branding were removed for the event!!!

Does anyone know which North West buses are departing for the Olympics and where they are heading?????

Last I heard it was:

ME new E400s and some E300s
LL 2 ADL E300s and 2 MAN E300s
KL nothing
BA nothing
CE not sure at all...

I can't speak for PR, CY etc

The brand new stuff will go to the capital directly. Other stuff may end up in other cities. So for example LLs MANs may go to Manchester to cover E400s etc.

I imagine buses will begin to leave within the next few weeks.
