Is that a new transfer in to Carlisle?
So Carlisle now have 11156-11158?
An increase in the double decker allocation by 1?

Today we have all 3 E400 MMCs out on 685 -11156-8.
I wonder if that is now the regular plan?
At Carlisle bus station is a small office block by the bus stands which has a waiting room with well filled timetable racks and on the windows on public display is the day's allocation for Stagecoach Carlisle.
I have included this as the 685 duties are labelled MMC and today 11156, 11157 and 11158 were all out going to Newcastle. Note the MMC allocation vehicle type states 2 * E400 and 1 *E300.

New E400 MMC 11573 YX23OPA in Carlisle depot Tuesday evening this week. In Lakes green livery so no doubt one of the 9 for Kendal and the 555.
I think there were actually 3 new E400 MMCs of this group in a line inside the depot.

Carlisle's 10015 has been repainted into The Coronation of King Charles III livery
685 on Saturday 29th April 2023, Carlisle sent out 4 double deckers for nearly all the day. E400MMCS 11156, 11157 and 11158 on Newcastles and one of 100nn on the Brampton short working - but then Carlisle United were at home in the afternoon with a bumper 10,000+ crowd so 685s were experiencing delays of up to 20 minutes each way. (Carlisle United's ground is Brunton Park on Warwick Road and the 685 travels the full length of Warwick Road from M6 J43 to the city centre).
How does one get photos to appear in the thread as opposed to links to photos?
