18380 and 17246 have both been seen back in service at Lillyhall over the last weekend.

Recently transferred 16793/5 are to keep the magic bus livery for the time being as they're going on the short 3s between the bus station and university.

More service changes?!

If i read that right, after only 3 short weeks the services are being put back as they were !!, just what is the management playing at !!, sounds like the management at Morecambe needs a good kicking-up the back side.

Most of my working live as been spent working in Transport offices for haulage companies, as well as coach companies, I never come accross such bad management.

Just been informed that once repainted into Stagecoach livery the recent decker arrivals from Manchester will be joining the double deck fleet and will be used on any services excet Prestons except in extreme emergency

Olympian 16336 was on the 104 from Penrith yesterday - this is the first time I have seen this in service since October 2012! It seems to have replaced 16650 which is not around.

24124 is the last of the 59-reg Enviro300s to have been repainted and to have their route branding removed though 24123/4 both seem to be staying on the 104 working out of Penrith with 24116-22 staying on the 79/179.

16336 was on the 91A before doing 104's to Penrith and Newton Rigg College last Thursday and Friday whilst I was in Carlisle. 16650 was working in Lancaster as on loan to Morecambe along with 16652 so I assume 16336 is in service as cover for 16650. I didn't see 16776 at all so don't know if it is still about. 20944 worked the 0940 600 off Carlisle on Friday.

16776 does a regular school contract for Nelson Thomlinson school at Wigton, I think from Kirkbride, so the only time you normally see it out in Carlisle is on its way to and from the depot before and after the school run.

20944 is now back at Penrith on its regular 108 service.

Thanks for confirming this I may well have seen 16776 at Wigton on Friday without realising it. I was standing at King St waiting to do Reays oly B5 CWR on the 300R when a Stagecoach oly turned left in the distance heading in the Maryport direction. I also viewed 20710 but don't know what school route it was on.

There was a Dart on the 108 last Thursday so maybe that was just unlucky. Out of curiosity does a B10 work the 508 on Saturdays and Sundays?

That would have been 16776 - it has to turn left there to avoid the low railway bridge in Station Road. 20710 does another Nelson Thomlinson contract to Allonby and there is a third vehicle (usually 52626) to Port Carlisle.

20944 usually works the 508, at least on Saturdays when I have seen it.

Thanks for confirming that. After arriving at Carlisle on the Reays 300R service I was withered when 20219 arrived on the 38 at 1712 and went off not in service. I think it may have been the 1644 service from Stoneraise?
