28th June 2009 - Went on a wander with friends today, I think we got lost, but then again we ended up still being vaguely on track at the end. I think.... it's really hard to tell :D
Tried a bit of an aged edit here, liking it :)
When Ribble took over the services previously operated by Lancaster City Transport in late August 1993 a pair of open toppers was required to operate on Morecambe promenade. As it was near the end of the season the two open top vehicles were hired from other Stagecoach group companies, these being East Midland ECW bodied Bristol VRT 175, XRR 175 S & Cumberland MCW bodied Leyland Atlantean PDR1/1 1928, ERV 251 D, the VRT being pictured loading at Morecambe Town Hall.
This VR was tranferred to Ribble for the 1994 season & was numbered 2075 and was joined by similar vehicle UWV 622 S, which came from Southdown and was numbered 2076. The 1994 season saw the pair operate a tour of Lancaster & Morecambe rather than a straightforward promenade service and for this they wore a variation of Stagecoach livery with a caramel coloured, rather than white base.
The Lancaster & Morecambe tour wasn't a success and the pair were later transferred to Cumberland where they were repainted into the green & cream Lakeland Experience livery.
Repaired SW corner framing. The door pillar on the right of the photo has been replaced. New sapele timber has been spliced into main corner pillar to its left.
I was supposed to be in Glasgow seeing Placebo but due to my bloody cellulitis, I'm stuck at home with my feet elevated :(
