RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Jimmi - 01 Jan 2017
(01 Jan 2017, 6:13 pm)MurdnunoC 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.
On that basis, can I count Sapphire 7 E400 on service 12 which has a low bridge (was removed before it came to that!) https://flic.kr/p/MRfTh7
Surely this late contender counts as well, with it being a depot loan: https://flic.kr/p/QJfmir
Also Scarlet Band's Durham Park and Ride Solo SR on the 33 was a unexpected sighting: https://flic.kr/p/GxSjTr
Oh and seeing as this is the Stagecarriage thread: https://flic.kr/p/NbHfym
Oh, and I most certainly agree that it has to be a Leyland Olympian rather than a Volvo, my Facebook feed was filled with endless photos of Volvo Olympian's yesterday.

Nope. If the bridge had been removed then its just a normal rare working. However, if the bus had been diverted to accommodate the allocation then yes, that would have been a major contender.
Jimmi Surely this late contender counts as well, with it being a depot loan: https://flic.kr/p/QJfmir
While it is a rare working, loans between Arriva depots happen every now and then. I guess it would depend on the length of the loan and the board it was working.
Jimmi Also Scarlet Band's Durham Park and Ride Solo SR on the 33 was a unexpected sighting: https://flic.kr/p/GxSjTr
Unexpected, perhaps. But rare? I can't imagine Scarlet Band's fleet to be that big.

RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Kuyoyo - 18 Jan 2017
And it is on the 88 today
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - tyresmoke - 22 Jan 2017
Joining the fleet soon is a third Scania Omnidekka, YV03PZF from Howard's - will become no 27 in our fleet
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Jatkin - 27 Jan 2017

Just saw SOY this week.

Yeah we used it up until Wednesday morning and then it left us yesterday lunchtime for a new life with a dance group in Manchester. 24 has departed to J&C Coaches although I understand it's due to be converted into a bar at a trampoline place up their way in Aycliffe.

I can post attachments fine. What's the issue? Is there an error message? We need a bit more to go on, please.
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - tyresmoke - 02 Feb 2017
The next addition to our fleet is Scania Omnidekka YV03PZF, to be numbered 27. We went to pick it up yesterday and it saw use on college route 266 yesterday PM and this morning, but it's gone for repaint now!

I sent the error message to Scott a while back. He said he thought it had been sorted.
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Cock Robin - 28 Feb 2017
Silver Solo has been repainted red (no white relief though!). On 84/X8 today.
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - tyresmoke - 02 Apr 2017
The latest addition to our fleet is Scania Omnicity YN54AHF. It takes up fleet number 16, replacing E300 13 X21BUS which has gone the other way to Stafford Bus Centre.
It saw use yesterday in yellow but will soon be repainted.
MPD 10 EU06KOW has recently returned to use after months off the road.
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - tyresmoke - 19 Apr 2017
Scania Omnidekka 27 (YV03PZF) has been sold to Mario Coaches, Nelson
Scania Omnicity 16 (YN54AHF) was taken for repaint this morning. It should be joined by another shortly.
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Cock Robin - 19 Apr 2017
Scanias going already?!

That one was sold as it was seatbelted and not really much use on our school work due to vandalism... we'll replace it with another soon though I'm sure.
RE: Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Kuyoyo - 09 May 2017
16 repainted and now X21BUS
Stagecarriage of Grangetown - Jimmi - 18 Jul 2017
Service 82 between Thornaby and Yarm is to be withdrawn, it's cancelled on VOSA in effect from August 19th 2017, presumably meaning the last day of operation will be August 17th 2017.
