(15 Sep 2016, 5:20 pm)RBZ 5459 Cascade of former North East E400 allocation (subject to change):
Carlisle: 19141/3/4 
Morecambe: 19142/5/6/7/8

C&NL Olympians currently in disposal: 16634/45/60/63/64/65/67/70/776/795

19142/6/7/8 are in the process for onward transfer to East Midlands. At least 42 has arrived, after going straight there from NE. 46 I believe is still under repair at Slatyford after being refused.

19141 and 19143(in repaint process) are penciled in for service at Lillyhall currently. 19144 returned to service at Carlisle this week.

Trident update...
19143 entered service at Lillyhall yesterday, 19141 shouldn't be far behind. Both had many monies spent on them and boy did they need it.
19144 in and out of service at Carlisle, but now in reserve.
19145 at Morecambe in service still. 

Permanent allocations yet to be decided, all down to how they perform.

Surprised nobody has spotted this yet

27142 re-entered service after repaint yesterday (photo below taken by Lee Wardle prior to re-entering service - the WiFi is due to be removed). 27141 is in process of being repainted while 47921 is done but is presently away at Optare

Thought I'd post a new year update to keep this thread ticking over...

2017 has obviously marked the withdrawl of non-DDA deckers in public service. None-DDA deckers which moved to disposals over the last three periods of the year include; 16634, 16645, 16660, 16663, 16664, 16665, 16666, 16667, 16776, 16795, 17020, 17022, 17023, 17024, 17036, 17197, 17246. Of those; 16634 has been sold for preservation to a member of the Ribble Preservation Trust, 16795 has been sold to Lawsons of Corby. 16660/63/67, 16776, 17022/24/36, 17197, 17246 have been sold to Wigleys for scrap. The remaining disposals are pending sale, all most probably scrap.

16639 is currently still in normal passenger service at Barrow on service on the 7s. Stagecoach Group have given special dispensation to use her for the next 4 weeks (20 school days from 5th Jan 2017). This is due to the delay of Dennis Trident 18375 returning from Scotland after having seat-belts fitted. Another reactivated vehicle is 16651 which has moved out of disposals to replace chassis damaged 16118 at Carlisle. Once it has been fitted with seat-belts it will be used on schools. 16661 (Barrow), 16640 and 16793 (Carlisle), 16649, 16670, 17017 and 17198 (Lillyhall) remain on fleet for schools only. 16639 will most likely return to the contractual reserve fleet for schools, with 16119, 16650/57 also there on paper. 22149 is to return to West Cumbria from Kendal for schools soon, this is DDA and will be used on the 31H/peak 32 in Whitehaven between duties. B10Ms 20459, 20457, 20219, 20710/11/12, are still kicking about on fleet for schools - 20712 is reserve on paper, 20219 currently VOR.

The batch of ex-Lakes 555 Scania Enviro 400 have almost completed their transfer to Barrow, these being 15723-29 - which have received temporary vinyls for the 6/X6. This is for the exception of 15725, and is still in full 555 livery at Morecambe - but being repainted into standard livery imminently before transfer. Former 6/X6 Scania Enviro 400 15818-21 have subsequently moved to Morecambe - 15822 is still remaining Barrow. Although a slight increase in age, this swap has allowed the 6/X6 allocated vehicles to have high-back coach seating - it is thought that they may receive slight internal refurbishment in the months to come, which include USB plugs (this is the case for the 685 vehicles 27141/42 at Carlisle also).

Non-DDA Tridents 17196/99 have been moved into reserve at Lillyhall (West Cumbria). Lillyhall will be taking care of Carlisle's work on the 77/77A (Honister Rambler) and 78 (Seatoller - OTs) this summer. This has resulted in MAN-engined Optare Solos 47239, 47449/50 and 47721/22 moving to West Cumbria for when the season kicks off again, they are to be used mainly on the Whitehaven town network till then and when the spares aren't needed, but will most likely stray. 17489, 17490 and 17495 are the open-toppers for the 78, but 17217 may go instead of one just to keep a decent one at Carlisle for the 508. All of the current non-DDA open top fleet at Kendal along with 17217 are currently going through DDA modifications.

Kendal currently have two Mercedes-Benz Sprinter City 45s on loan from EvoBus for use on the 6/X6. This is due to the A592 between Newby Bridge and Bowness being closed for essential repairs, with the only suitable diversion route being too tight for even a Solo. The special shuttle service for 6 journeys to and from Windermere runs via the A5074 and the A590 to connect with X6 journeys at Newby Bridge. The shuttle is running for the duration of the works from Monday 2nd January until Easter. The vehicles are BT15KLZ and BX14LDD and are numbered 80031 and 80032.

Various MANviro are also up for internal transfer throughout Cumbria & North Lancs; 22873, 22878, 24117 and 24122.

Think that covers the notable bits of interest, and hopefully proven useful for some. If there's anything else I can think of I'll update the post. And if anyone needs to know anything specific about workings etc give me a poke.

No problem, Tom.

West Cumbria have a pretty good fleet on paper now, instead of relying on the reserve fleet when things go wrong...

Yeah I noticed a lot of old Tridents and Olympians out when I was there.

Something that would be nice for the summer services, is in the morning/evening to get the summer services to Keswick, have a 77 running from Workington to Cockermouth, Lorton and then via Seatoller to Keswick. I think that could prove popular as the service might attract a few from Cockermouth.

West Cumbria have a pretty good fleet on paper now, instead of relying on the reserve fleet when things go wrong...

Yeah I noticed a lot of old Tridents and Olympians out when I was there.

Something that would be nice for the summer services, is in the morning/evening to get the summer services to Keswick, have a 77 running from Workington to Cockermouth, Lorton and then via Seatoller to Keswick. I think that could prove popular as the service might attract a few from Cockermouth.

(21 Mar 2017, 9:09 am)RBZ 5459 Due for the summer they are. 17013/4/5/6/17217/17221/17277 (minus 17012) will be up for disposal with 17692 transferring to Carlisle.

So I assume:
17489-95 are for the 78 (The timetable suggests the PVR is 2, though last summer when I was at Keswick there was always a spare, with 3 used)
17692 will be for the 508

Then 
13801-7 will be for the 599 (with 1 spare)
17012 will be for the 505 (which will become open-top according to the new timetable)
However, the PVR of the 505 is two so will they use 17012 and 1 of 13801-7?

Also do you know what is happening with 16534, apparently it is still with the fleet though I heard it had been sold for preservation. It can't be used as it is not DDA compliant or has it been made as an exception...will it be used for events and private hire etc?

Indeed 17489/90/95 for the 78s with 17962 on the 508.
17012 is dedicated spare for 599 and also for private hires, in a special livery which is being kept under wraps for now.
As for the 505.... being open-toppers is a misprint so well spotted Peter, just passed it on now.
16534 is a sore subject, been all sorts of parts robbed off it inc gearbox as it's still listed on fleet.
