(16 Jan 2019, 2:10 pm)Brampton Trev wrote 11157 is now out in service in what appears to be as delivered paint scheme with no branding and thus as per the photo in Carlisle depot.  Day 1 was Monday this week and the bus is doing the 3 round trips per day starting with the second departure from Carlisle so as to pass through Hexham around 15.40 (scholls out time) on a Newcastle to Carlisle working.

MANviro reputatiion.  Any age of MANviro in particular? And what goes wrong?  I did hear of some new to Swindon that were put on the Oxford-Swindon route but suffered over heating due to rear end underfloor air flow causing countryside road side debris from the gutter blocking the radiators and so were moved to a 'cleaner' route.  And which age/reg are the ones at Morecambe - only seen the same age as at Carlisle.  Carlisle have a good number of 08/59/09/59 - some PX/PY reg (so presumably new to Cumbria), at least one OU (new to Oxford) and a few SP (from Dumfries or was it Fife?)

Pretty much right with the MANviro. The radiator is on the wrong side so they get clogged to hell and back with road debris, chocolate engines on the whole, nothing like the 18.220.

Morecambe ones are 08/09 with the ex-Fife 09 plate being parked up for disposals on the back of the new order.
