(13 Feb 2014, 10:08 pm)mattdw92 Not registered at the time with rest of summer stuff. They sold all their Solos, just have YN53YHJ left. Nearing the start of summer season so they'll have to get their skates on if they are planning something.
They're ridiculous. I recall Reays starting the 77R half way through the summer season last year!

How long will 21007 be at Kendal for?

(13 Feb 2014, 10:26 pm)Tom How long will 21007 be at Kendal for?
I'm sure we go through this every year Tom with the B10's and when they will be leaving?
haha. Have to treat every year as their last unfortunately. - until more MAN cascades occur most probably! 21003, 21004 and 21005 are technically operational reserve at Morecambe. Haven't moved in months though, probably had a few bits donated to other B10s. Morecambe loved their B10B's in service, still love them. Fitters hated them though, difficult to access engine compared to B10M.

One piece of information which about this years Stagecoach Order which has entered the public domain is the confirmation of short-term step-ins 27766/67 on the 685, which will be replaced by buses with "coach style seating, seatbelts and wifi" in the coming year."
In the same article in the Hexham Courant today, Arriva are looking to replace the Omnicity vehicles which have leather seats with fabric seating - and that they are looking at the options in terms of handrails and whether seatbelts can be fitted.

Does anyone know what is usually allocated to the 530/1, 551/2 and 567? Thanks.
RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire - Dan - 09 Mar 2014
Slightly delayed as I've only just gone through my e-mails properly to find this, but this period's movements are shown on the attachment below. With thanks to Richard Smiles for producing his fleet list showing these movements.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of Volvo B10M Alexander PS 20711 (one of the School ones with 3+2 seating) on the 60 for Carleton Clinic. It was unfortunately replaced by MAN 18.220 22160 at West Tower Street, but it was fun while it lasted!

Thanks for that Tom, I plan to try the new extended 508 service for my next day trip to Cumbria.

The scenery should be beautiful, I do think it's a fantastic link from Carlisle to Windermere though.

Just planning my week-long summer trip to the Lakes now. Fun times!

I think I will to hehe!
Will be staying for four nights hopefully, love the new express 555 journeys from Kendal to Lancaster.
I'm guessing you'll be using the 508 on one occasion or more?

Was previously impossible to get to Lancaster and back from Newcastle in one day, but is now (although you can only get 25 or so mins there)... Perfect for a final day after a week coming back and forth from Sunderland though.
