One of the more important reasons for drivers always to check their vehicle before going off shift.

Seriously... how can you not notice a guy in a wheelchair like that when getting off the bus??

Also 20960 is still in service in Carlisle.

Not reached Carlisle yet. 36072 seems to have had problems en-route.

For information. Looks like Reays have a demonstrator Alexander Dennis 400 for evaluation as SN61DFK is operating on the 74 Henderson Road to Morton service this morning. They're certainly appear to be a company that's always looking for improvement.

16877 has left ME for pastures new and 22121 should be going back to kendal sometime this week.

SN61DFK today

Seen 52635 a couple of times in odd parts of Carlisle recently, most recently in Botcherby. Does anyone know what it has been doing here? I thought it was a Lillyhall vehicle.

34704 nearly fully done in new livery.

So 34704 has been repainted back into standard livery. Wasn't a fan, but rather surprised that the Pointer didn't take the new look, such a versatile bodywork most liveries take to it quite nicely!

Back to the drawing board, or a no go-er for the Pointer?

There will be no more messing around with the paint... Standard livery for the Dart from now on. Have a feeling group would never have passed it anyway.

Ta for that.

Wish I had had the camera in the car when I saw it in Botcherby .

Let me guess, 52626 has broken down again?

Again?? They arent that bad!!

Is 52626 still out? Noted that it had been moved onto reserve back in November, pretty sharpish after it broke down in Newcastle.

Yeah, 52626 never come off and was not expected too. More to do with getting the spare percentage etc right on the fleetcard.

Once all the Mans become stable then that might change however...

I can just remember hearing about it breaking down more than once.

 

[jonesy3001]

33482 has turned at ME as an engine doner for 33036.

Makes sence NOT, to remove an engine from an R-reg'd to put it in an P-reg'd

 

[mbonwick]

In a way it does, the ALX200s seem to be more prone to chassis corrosion for some reason, plus NE have already cannibalised one of 33482s sisters for the same reason.

'withdrawn' 20960 and a UID Carlisle city dart seem to be the 2 spare buses at Penrith at the moment, one of them not sure which will be at Lilyhall over night on the college X9 service
