No exacting times available yet but the open topper, believed to be 13802 if the same one as used in Manchester today, it will be on the 82/86 from around 0900 to 1700, tomorrow, Tuesday 25th July.

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.

Same one used in Manchester. Will run around 09:15 from L1 or that is what the driver is aiming for.

The Lakes open topper has just left L1 on the 82 to South Parkway at 1215 should anyone want to catch it.

A few from today's visit of 13802 to Liverpool......happily had time for a return trip on the 86 to South Parkway!

Worth catching if you get that chance this afternoon, Cumbria staff onboard giving out leaflets with vouchers for money off day tickets in the Lakes. Don't think there's an actual timetable for it to run but suspect it will be done by 4 or 5pm.....

To be totally accurate VKB 708 was originally fitted to L252 a PD2 which, I think, ended its days as a shunt vehicle around GM depot in the late 1970's. I'm sure I've got a photo of it somewhere.

You're right - L252 was a Leyland PD2. The VKB 708 registration number has been allocated to quite a few vehicles now:

Merseyside PTE L252
Merseycoach 7010 (ex CKC 625X)
MTL Fareway (latterly Heysham Travel and Stagecoach 165/52002) (ex B483 UNB)
Stagecoach 34820 (ex PX06 DWF)
Stagecoach 19038 (ex SN56 AWH)
