Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
It seems that Arriva are not using Carlisle Bus Station for the 185 and 685 services at the moment. Is there some dispute with Stagecoach? Not sure if this is connected with Arriva working on some 185 duties. Yesterday an Arriva bus working a 185 to Haltwhistle, which departed from the sweet shop outside the bus station at 1:20pm, was only a few minutes in front of a Telford's vehicle on the same service. The Arriva driver left his vehicle to get the passengers from the stand and the Telford's vehicle consequently left empty.
