(15 Aug 2014, 8:38 am)AIG20 wrote Also, an Ex-Manchester Volvo Olympian 16793 (P723 GND) is currently getting painted out of its "Magic Bus" livery. I wonder where it will be used and what vehicles it is replacing?

(02 Sep 2014, 2:20 pm)AIG20 wrote Apparently new ADL E300s 27141 and 27142 have entered service on the 685 today, according to "Lee Wardle" of the "Stagecoach Enthusiasts" Facebook Page.

Does anyone know which vehicles 27766 and 27767 will be replacing? I think it would be a good idea is they were converted into "bike buses" to replace elderly MAN ALX300s 22121 (S121 TRJ) and 22141 (S141 TRJ).

(02 Sep 2014, 2:24 pm)Dan wrote I believe the original plan was for them to transfer out of the region - whether that's still the case or not, I do not know.

(02 Sep 2014, 2:25 pm)Tom wrote And the 800 doesn't justify it, plus it's only a seasonal service.

(02 Sep 2014, 5:49 pm)Dan wrote The 685 hardly justifies brand new buses, but look what's happened...

Registration

(22 Feb 2015, 2:55 pm)Tom wrote Latest Registration of New Services operated from 28th March 2015:
Service 73/73A Caldbeck to Keswick. Summer service.
Service 208 Keswick to Patterdale. New Summer service.
Service 508 Kendal to Windermere. New summer service, CCC School holidays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays
Service 555 Kendal to Windermere. New summer split 555

I'd imagine if the 208 will be made to connect with the 508 at Patterdale, that trip will be stunning.

(22 Feb 2015, 2:57 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Might ride some of those when I go to the Lakes with my family in the May/June holidays.

We're spending a few nights there, and one day I think they're just going shopping in a few places, and I'm allowed to roam freely on a North West Explorer!

I've heard some of the fares over there are quite steep, though.
