Stagecoach North West Discussion

[stagecoachuk]

67/68 branded 34704 & 34706 both having spells on the 38 today.

20904 had a short spell on the 67/68.

62 branded 34699 on 67/68 from start of play also.

18357 and 17017 both back out on 104s today.

 

[Mshaplin]

I can imagine 17020 been a bit...erm...sluggish on the 755 and that on has a better engine then the other, not that there's many on the road.

How are 17023/24 anybody?

22, 23 and 24 all poorly

 

[Dallamlad]

22, 23 and 24 all poorly

Blimey, 3 decks down isn't great! Clearly got to the point where they all need a revamp lol 17020 aside seeing as it sort of already has!

 

[Mattdw92]

22140 taken up its 30/31 position, legally this time not a bad one! More 22108 than 22104 on the scale of uselessness
And was nice to see 47616 back in service, been off since a week or so before the Open Day.

[KendalKing]

Sooner old solos are replaced the better!

One of the solos, that I was refering too, broken down yesterday afternoon with a split brake pipe!

Before anybody ask, Wayne Hold did not try towing it away with a car.

 

[Gez.SCNW]

Please note that accordingto the online fleet list, and the 2012 handbooks (British Bus & GBBG) 20905 does not exist![/QUOTE]

Yes it does
It is in my GBBG 2012 edition page 57 (West Cumbria reserve) when I sent it to print

x35 (X6) "mostly new buses" seems that nobody is sure what these will be exactly lol.

 

[mbonwick]

Now I see what the 5th Scania rumoured for Barrow was for.
I'm guessing the "mostly" phrase is being used because said Scans haven't been secured yet and there is a good chance it will be Tridents...

Tridents would be fine as a temp measure, hope they add vehicles on to the current order for BA so ME can still have the Scans, but when push comes to shove the X35 is more important right now then the 42!

79 branded Enviro 24116 on the 61 today.

 

[CumbrianJosh]

17277 back on the 78 today, sounded terrible when it got back to Penrith mind..

Its been out plenty but its generally 3rd reserve as it's a bit of a pile...

First time I've seen that one, 17217 doesn't seem too bad to me but 17277 despite being newer doesn't seem to have as much power somehow.

 

[Dallamlad]

Not North West but it appear SC have been clobbered again by the OFT and the CC:

STAGECOACH WITHDRAWS FROM ANTICIPATED ACQUISITION OF NORTH DEVON BUS OPERATIONS







10 July 2012



Stagecoach Group plc ("Stagecoach") announced today (10 July 2012) that it is no longer proceeding with its planned acquisition of the North Devon business and assets of First Devon and Cornwall Limited ("First").



It follows the decision by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) today to refer the anticipated acquisition to the Competition Commission due to "concerns the merger will reduce competition in local bus services in the area".



A Stagecoach Group spokesman said: "We are extremely disappointed at the decision of the OFT to refer what is a relatively small transaction to the Competition Commission.



"We do not believe we can justify spending further money and management time on what has already been a lengthy process.



"As a result, we have reluctantly decided not to proceed with the acquisition and have informed First we are withdrawing."



Stagecoach Group announced on 12 March 2012 that its subsidiary, Stagecoach Devon Limited, had signed an agreement with First Devon and Cornwall to acquire its business and assets in North Devon and Torridge for a gross consideration of £2.8m.

I wonder what the plan of action is with these Tridents. Now the press will be watching it SC will be under pressure to keep them out consistently and so far it isn't working...

47474 first day out in Carlisle today on the 67/68 joined by 47016 on the 61/61A. 47020 is also expected to land anytime here. We are no longer going to use 47020.

17017 broke down on 104 today replaced by 34695.

If you want shots of the MPDs be quick!

One of the Kendal B10s due to arrive here anytime for Sainsburys contract.

 

[mbonwick]

What's replacing the MPDs (though they aren't actually MPDs) if 47020 isn't seeing service then?

 

[KendalKing]

The following B10M's are now back in service at Morecambe:- 20131, 20545, 20546, 20547, 20795, 20896, 20905, 20907. All having been recently repainted, which makes me think that they could be around after the olympics.
