I was in Carlisle yesterday and only one of the three Tridents allocated was in service.
18361 was on one of the Penrith 104 double-deck duties but the other one was 16118. 16650 was on the Keswick 554.
18357 has not yet returned with its new engine and 18365 seems to be out of service now.
16119 is on loan to morecambe(paint cover?) and 17017 is at carlisle for repaint.

I suppose that means that 16119 will not be coming back to Carlisle any time soon?
Although 16650 has been transferred to reserve, it is in daily use because of the absence of 16119 and 18357 and there are now only five deckers at Carlisle/Penrith with a pvr of four - which includes two Tridents!
I see that 20910 has been shown on the new fleetcard as conversion at Lillyhall - anyone know what it is being converted to? Also from the fleetcard, it looks as if MAN 22269 is being converted to a Dart SLF - or is that a slip of the pen?
Thanks again to Michael Bonwick for keeping us posted with the fleetcards.
Ready?
10025 has gone to anston for roof repairs, 16119 should go to back to carlisle today, 20910 has turned up at morecambe for conversion work, 47247 has had L.E.D Hanover blinds fitted leaving 47249 the only ex kirkby lonsdale solo with mobitec blinds and i think ME are getting a MAN(22274?) from kendal to cover while 10025 is away.
Lakes-liveried 18357 is back at last and on the 554 Carlisle-Keswick again.
16119 is on the 104 Penrith-Carlisle instead of 18361 which must be in for maintenance.
20219 has been on the 520/94/97 almost every day this term and seat belt fitted 22149 has been on the city services 60 or 67/68. It is half term next week so 20219 might have a rest!
16336 has been at Lillyhall for about 3 weeks or so and has been seen on a variety of routes. I have travelled on it twice on the Moorclose Circular service 50, normally served by Solos.
Talking of Solos 47009 has now joined the permanent allocation instead of working out of the Reserve fleet. Another Reserve vehicle B10M 20918 is seeing regular service from Lilyhall of late.
16118 has been seen in Workington a few times recently.
