Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
I had a real surprise today when 20944 turned up from Penrith on the 104. It is the first time I have noted this in service since the end of last year. It used to be a regular at Penrith outstation. The same working during the last week has seen 20960 which is another nominally in reserve but is in service a lot. 20219 was on the 600 Cockermouth today.

Another unusual sight was 18365 on the 38 Silloth. Rare to see a double-decker on this service.

Long-time VOR MAN 22149 did a spell on the 67 and this has been fitted with coach seats as fitted to 16645 and the Enviro300s at Carlisle. It did not stay long on the 67 as I saw it outside the depot later on.

Also at the depot is a First-liveried double-decker - could not see which one - presumably another Wirral bus for repaint.

Finally reserve MAN 22160 was on the 61 - the only T-reg of the ex-Manchesters at Carlisle - I have not seen this in service since Christmas.
