27718 is another out on the 10A

FWIW, the fleetcard (uploading soon!) shows the following as off to London during P3 (4 weeks to 22nd July)
27701-7
27768-80.

The other ADL Enviro300s should be departing soon I think.
Carlisle's 24121/2, 34685-8 are reported to have gone to Merseyside, as have Lillyhall's 22610/1.

Also on the 21 today was PX04 HTU (34617). For the record, 24121 is PX59 AZJ and 34619 is PX04 HTY.

Also on the 10A today was PO11 BCY (27719).

(Credit to a source on Facebook for this information.)

34686 was on the 82 today, and 34617 on the 53. 34617 ran O.K. on good bits of road, but on imperfect road sections, it sounded as if anything that could "rattle" was doing so.

At the moment, the following buses have been reported as in Gillmoss' fleet and in service (either permanent or just on loan):

MAN/Enviro300s:
- PX59 AZJ (24121)

TransBus Pointer 2s or Alexander Dennis Pointer 2s:
- PX04 HTU (34616)
- PX04 HTV (34617)
- PX04 HTY (34619)
- PX05 EKV (34686)

They are on loan from Cumbria for the Olympics. Were supposed to be coming to Manchester until a last minute change of plan.

I know; it's been suggested that some transfers might be permanent, though:

Following recent PVR changes [113 moving to Chorley] all 6 darts previously at Preston were removed from allocated services (ie. they became spares). As Preston were overfleeted for MD spares, but lacking in Solo spares, I wonder if 2 of those Solos recently withdrawn from Chorley have turned up at Preston, with 4 or so darts moving to Merseyside.

there was a 54 reg pointer 2 on the 82/86 today too,unsure about the reg though and a freshly painted 53 reg pointer 2 with flip dot destinations on there too.

We'll have to wait and see then.
Much as some people in Merseyside have moaned about the lack of double deckers on some routes, the bosses do seem keen to focus on single deckers. It might suit Cumbria to get rid, with their new fleet arriving after the Olympics.

MY&SL aren't getting anything off C&NL post-Olympics, if anything, its your stuff that will be heading north!

Both cumbria09 and I have said it once and I'll say it again: the numbers just don't justify deckers, otherwise you'd have them. Gillmoss is the jewel of the MY&SL crown, so its not like it has to come second to Preston....
