Another change reflecting enrag2000's report above is that 20960 has replaced 20965 as the transfer to the ancillary fleet. 20965 is now back on Carlisle's allocation. Other changes are just delicensing of seasonal vehicles 17014/5/6/217, 22121/41.

16118/9 both came from Fort William rather than Fife. I have not yet seen either of them on the road but at least one - 16119 - has been repainted - there are photos of these on Flickr (not mine):

The photo caption states one is to replace 16776 but this is still at Carlisle.

Olympian 16650 which was on loan at Lancaster is now back at Carlisle and has been on the 554 Keswick service for about the past week instead of 18357. 16336 is no longer here and I think it has gone to Barrow.

With the end of summer services 77/77A, there is now an extra spare Solo at Carlisle and today 47721 and 47722 were both on Carlisle city services instead of Dart SLFs. Normally one of these stays at Penrith for the winter on service 78 but one of the other Solos must be over there - possibly 47022 or 47754 which I have not seen in Carlisle this week.
