Blackpool has sort of lost an icon, the new ones on face value dont look much cop to be honest. I will confess to knowing little about trams and trains, well trains im learning but thats another story :)

I take it youve been to devon as well at some point as youve got 18065 as a personal favourite vehicle

I regularly ride around Worcestershire on First services and take a keen interest on them.

Also know a fair bit about Stagecoach in Cumbria's services, and also Pembrokeshire (Silcox and First)

I did like your vid of 18357 thrash and your pic of 16650 Matt.

I have lots more videos from Stagecoach Cumbria of various buses I rode and loads of pictures, but my memory stick is almost full at the moment so can't get anything off my camera until my dad eventually gets round to ordering a new hard drive

Ive got one or two spare memory sticks if thats a temporary solution

Yes I have Paignton/Torquay area mostly and every journey I made on Route 12 18065 turned up on every single one and I took a liking to it so that's why its my favourite :)

Getting down to devons abit of an expense otherwise id spend a day on devon tridents and a day doing cornwall olympians. The stagecoach 18xxx tridents are fantastic though, matt will agree with me on that

Yes i watched matts video of a stagecoach and they sound much better and seem alot faster compared to our Voiths at WN

18188 is my gloucester stakler on routes 97/98 (theyre pretty much the same). I put a little stagecoach west update thread in the stagecoach section if you want a nosey.

Nathan i think the stagecoach ones are faster either because of the terrain or they have an extra gear or more speed but not sure which idea is correct

I Know the whole Blackpool network as my nan lives there and i have memorised th routes. Miss the old vintage trams which were a sort of british icon
