Transdev Lancashire sightings

I visited Burnley and Blackburn last week

In Burnley there are 3 step entrance workings now, one on service 1, one on service 8 and one on service 9

There is also the Asda service as well.

The vehicles in use when I was there were

12 (G289UMJ) - service 1
163 (F263YTJ) - service 8
196 (F96PRE) - service 9

These are Monday to Fridays only, Saturdays is all low floor

Service 1 needs 6 buses weekdays generally 4 or 5 versas, maybe 1 solo and then 1 Olympian. Saturdays it is 4 versas. Service 8 is Olympian weekdays and Versa on Saturdays. Service 9 is Olympian weekdays and doesn't run on Saturdays.

In Blackburn there are also 3 step entrance workings, one on service 4 and two on services 9 & 14

There are also another 2 double deck workings on the 4, 9, 14 which should be the 2 Spot On Presidents and also 2 Olympians on the Outer Circle which should be Volvo Olympians 17 & 18

Seen when I was there were

13 (H546GKX) - service 9/14
15 (H550GKX) - service 4
2003 (L779SNO) - service 9/14

Again, these are Monday to Fridays only, Saturdays is all low floor except for the Outer Circle which I think is always the Volvo Olympians

Service 4 requires 4 buses, weekdays 2 double decks and 2 MPDs. Saturdays is 4 B10BLEs.
Service 9 & 14 require 3 buses, weekdays is 3 double decks. Saturdays is 3 B10BLEs

I understand that 15 Volvo B9TLs are due for route X43 shortly. Once I see any in Manchester I shall let you know.
