RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Kuyoyo - 06 Oct 2016
(06 Oct 2016, 2:41 pm)James101 Pure speculation - maybe a Christmas period Teesside Park shuttle?
Sounds like more than just a Christmas shuttle to me......
(06 Oct 2016, 2:56 pm)Jimmi I am also speculating but I'm guessing it will be a off peak service between Stockton and Middlesbrough running via Teesside Park which I will image will interwork with the 84 and run in the gaps left by the withdrawal of the 87.
Note how I have refused to refer to Teesside Park by its new name which is 'Teesside' no really, it is! ?
I wish they'd leave the name alone (looking at you 'Durham Tees Valley Airport'
)(06 Oct 2016, 3:02 pm)Jimmi Confirmed on their Facebook.

Interesting missing destination on the 84 - no mention of Bishopton......
But as you can see, the 84 is reverting to its previous route of Thorpe Thewles and Summerville Tesco between Carlton and Hardwick.

Latest arrival at Stagecarriage is former Arriva Yorkshire Volvo B7TL W654CWX.
This marks the start of several low floor double decks joining the fleet as we look to replace the Volvo Olympian's in the fleet

SP07FCX is out on the first afternoon 84 today
Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Jimmi - 19 Oct 2016
New timetables for 82 and 84/X8 from November 28th 2016 are now online. http://www.stagecarriage.co.uk/timetables
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - tyresmoke - 19 Oct 2016
The early finish at Prior Pursglove College today resulted in a number of rare workings... The Panther did the 84 in order to free up the E300 to work service 56. The 225 was covered by a double decker MIG8450 which its usually Solo YJ07VRK but this was on service 88.
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - tyresmoke - 05 Nov 2016
Taken away for scrap this week were

Nice shots Jimmi, good to see you made use of both buses out today! It's been a promising first day, so hopefully the service will continues to grow.

Just looking at the timetables there, hopefully it is a success and you can introduce later journeys, even if it is just on a Saturday
Hopefully there will be more services from yous too.

(06 Jan 2016, 10:07 am)Kuyoyo Contender for rarest working of the year?
(06 Jan 2016, 3:42 pm)Dan We're only six days into the year - not that many rare workings to pick from!
Anyone got one which trumps this one, then?

Not specific to Stagecarriage, But Stagecoach's Walkergate based MAN 223** covered half of a day on the 685 when 27142 developed difficulties en route, It also spent the night at Carlisle Depot too.
One of GNE's Riverside based Olympian's made a appearance on a section of my local route 88A ( The route that avoids the low bridge, So is allowed Double Decker's ) between Lukes Lane and Jarrow, Before being replaced.

Nope. Nice try though.

Indeed, It was on a mini excursion

This is more like it. A true contender for rarest working of the year.

Nah. Olympians could have feasibly showed up on any route without height restriction. If one showed up on you local route tomorrow then it might be considered a contender for next year.

Meh. It was just a Volvo and not a proper Leyland Olympian. You're not missing much.

I suppose so, But adding the fact the route is mainly restricted to Single Decker's, And that the last decker to appear on it was a Deptford Lolyne around 3 years pervious, It must be pretty rare?
Volvo for me, Probably because they were the norm when I was younger, Leyland's were in a similar position to the B7 President's in that they were spares, But each to there own.
