And surprise, surprise, there are no trains on WCML north of Preston that weekend! And I ain't paying £60 for 7+ hours travelling and just 2hrs 40 ish at the destination. RE: Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - RBZ 5459 - 15 May 2017 There will be a few more months of the London Tridents on the 599 for anyone after them this summer... Wrights have put the Gemini 3s back till August disappointingly.

Photo from James' Bus Photos on Flickr. https://flic.kr/p/Vo1LE5 First one should land in 2 weeks time, for service end of July. 17012 will then move to a reserve roll and for private hires, 17277 and 17692 keeping as spares for the 78, 508 and 599 once the new Volvo's arrive. The remaining older open toppers have secured homes elsewhere in the group.

And now a branded one: https://flic.kr/p/V1CWbo RE: Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - RBZ 5459 - 04 Jul 2017 The first one of the seven B5TL/Gemini 3s arrived this morning, should be 13801. This one is being used on 'Catch the bus week' promotions in Kendal at some point this week. One of them will be heading to Manchester then Merseyside regions beforehand for promotional duties. EDIT: Launch expected to be 17th July, but could be delayed due to certificate issues, which also now effect the Lothian batch.

RE: Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - RBZ 5459 - 20 Jul 2017 One of the new open topper B5s will be used in Manchester this coming Monday for the day, and then in Liverpool on Tuesday and Preston on Wednesday - services are still to be confirmed. Local plans are in place to use them in Lancaster and Carlisle over the next couple of weeks.

And, Hyde Road alone has 8 buses away at either Swindon or the Open Golf |
