Which scania's will they be using for the 2/12?

Looks like someone can't tell their Scanias from their ADLs!

Latest movements;
21007 ME-KL
15683 BA-ME
22595 LL-ME (S/D fleet now all low floor)
16634 CY(res)-ME.

Is 22595 being replaced at Lillyhall, or is it the 3rd vehicle to depart with the transfer of 15684-6 to the 30/31?

It's the 3rd vehicle out.

MAN ALX300 22274 is now the spare "BIKE & RIDE" bus for the 800 service, it still sports the Stagecoach standard livery.

When did 22140 get disposed of?

22140 has had it's bike racks removed and middle seats refitted, for Olympic cover work in 2012. It was then supposed to have had the bike racks refitted although I'm not sure of its status now.

22140's front end deformed when it hit a wall after skidding on black ice earlier in the year, shortly before it was due to have bike racks refitted. Uneconomical to repair so has been stripped down for spares before being scrapped. I think the 4/5month old engine it had was put into bike bus 22121.

Thanks for the info, that makes sense as 22121 is the one that had the fire last year in Windermere.

22960 was shown on the Period 4 fleetcard (thanks Michael!) as transferred to Kendal but I am not sure if it actually moved as yesterday it was on the 0825 301 service arriving in Carlisle. Although this starts in Workington, it is normally a Carlisle vehicle (it is some sort of outstation working but I do not understand quite how this works) so presumably it is still at Carlisle.

20219 is back in service and was on the 104 from Penrith all day yesterday in place of a Trident. I saw both the open-top Tridents (17217 and 17277) over the pits in Carlisle so I guess the closed-top Trident was taken off the 104 to cover the 78.

Carlisle depot now have three contract buses at Wigton Nelson Thomlinson School and yesterday they were 20710, 52629 and newly-reinstated 16776.

22149 has been regularly on the school contract to William Howard School at Brampton and is now fitted with folding school bus signs at front and rear.

Both the recently-transferred 27766 and 27767 were on the 685 Newcastle.
