RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
All 18 Enviro 400's are now at Morecambe, awaiting their holiday to London. Upon return, the withdrawal of most Volvo Olympians, 21007, and either MANs or Tridents will commence, with further withdrawals upon arrival of the 5 Scania Enviro 400's slightly later on. The transfer of MANs to Lillyhall is expected, enabling the withdrawal of their last 3 B10M's on paper.

Bike carrying service X33 will begin at the start of the school summer holidays, running only for the duration of the holidays. 2 Optare Solo's (47019 and 47021) are to be adapted to carry up to 2 bikes. It is assumed at this stage that the equipment will just be standard straps in the wheelchair area.

Dennis Trident 17017 has had a new engine fitted, but is still being as poor as ever, along with much newer Trident 18357.

Marshall Darts 33172 and 33173 have both been under preparation for Olympics cover, and I believe 33171 could be too, but no confirmation of that one.
