Sounds like a backward step
Ex-East Scotland 36196 is now in use at Carlisle with service 76 branding to the same style as the original Enviro200s. The 76 was reduced in frequency and changed to midi-operation from Solo, normally Enviro200, in the May changes.
Service 60 was also reduced but is now normally worked by Dart SLFs. Most of the acquired midis have been repainted either before transfer or after arrival at Carlisle.
Ex-Manchester Solo 47774 is also now in use here.
Ex Kendal Trident open topper 17014 has been sent to Orkney for further service.
This years open day will be held at Lillyhall on the 26th May.

============
18138 was noted parked in Carlisle Bus station, believe its now based at Carlisle.
According to SKM ex Gillmoss Scania Enviro300s 24169/71 are now at Carlisle.
Man enviro 300s not scania.
I'm amazed it's not been noted here yet
As of last week, the 0705 685 from Carlisle to Newcastle has been converted to double decker operation on schooldays due to high loadings. The decker remains on the board for two round rips (0705 and 1215 from Carlisle, 0945 and 1445 from Newcastle) before the last trip at 1730 from Carlisle is worked by one of the branded Enviro300s.
The intended vehicle for now is former Newcastle Enviro400 19144, however so far it's been a mixture of Carlisle's ex-Manchester Tridents.
MAN / Enviro 300 22873, a transfer from Lillyhall, was noted in service at Carlisle today along with 22887. Ex Oxford 22764 was also seen. 22887 was on the 104 to Penrith.
