More seating is needed on the 62 service.
SC&NL tried to get 6 ex Stagecoach Western 361xx (10 plate) from Kilmarnock that were being replaced by new E20Ds, but were not successful. They were used internally to replace the Versas which then came to Carlisle.

Can we.have your 15 plates at Chester lol. I'm guessing buy new buses or finding something that fits for that route

Losing the thread both literally and figuratively. here. Can you clarify exactly what has transferred to South Wales? Is it 47950-3 or are there others such as 47949.

The first time, I visited Carlisle it was nothing but Double Decker's on all the routes! This was when it was Ribble running the routes, long before Stagecoach.

47949 is on long term loan to VOSA at Northampton.
47950-3/61 have gone to Wales. Probably no coincidence that they've followed the director that ordered them new...

Thanks. And from a previous reply am I right in thinking 47949 will then move on within group or.deglfinately won't return to SG North West?

It's not anticipated to come back, but plans can change in the time VOSA are likely to have it...

Barrow based Scania Enviro 400s 15726/8/9 were noted in fleet livery on 23/5/19. 15727 was still in green 6/X6 livery.

Of the original Barrow based Optare Solo batch 47130-49, 47140 is now at Morecambe and 47146 at Lillyhall. All the others were noted in service on 23/5/19 except 47130.
47137 still retains its Love Barrow logos which all the batch carried some years ago.
