Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
Re Megarider and 685 = I asked at Carlisle Bus station this morning – answer = yes and as the 685 is joint Stagecoach and Arriva, the ticket can be used on both Stagecoach and Arriva buses on the route.

Re “All the ex-Manchester MAN A300s also remain in service - looks like they will be the last to go although 22149 should stay as it is nominally for the 520 schools and 94/97 services” – Went into Carlisle today and 22269 X269MTS was outbound on the 97 just after lunch.

The only darts I saw today in Carlisle were on the 76. And a 76 branded new ADL Enviro200 was on the 38. Wonder when the council will change the road humps on route 76?

The new non route branded ADL Enviro200s are now appearing on country routes, one was outbound on the 179 Annan a lunchtime. And yesterday, Sunday, one was in Brampton mid afternoon on the 685 Brampton.

One of the ADL Enviro300 (27767?) on route 685 is now sounding a bit noisier than normal – so is the long route starting to take its toll?
