11157 is for the Carlisle-Newcastle service 685. It is expected to enter service next week.
11158 was also supposed to join it but it has been diverted to Stagecoach UK Bus for testing. It is expected to return to Carlisle or be replaced with another.

11158 said to be currently at Stockport, and to be used by various Stagecoach fleets to test out new communications equipment....
Will 11158 actually be used in service while its at Stockport Depot?

I presume the new comms equipment will just be for Manchester as many smaller regional operations don't fit such equipment.

Looks like it's going to be used in various places...see the December 31 section under the Stagecoach UK Bus item https://www.stevenknightmedia.com/fleet-news-ramblings
Have the MMCs at Morecombe Depot entered service
