It is now believed 36101/4/5 will follow, with 36102/3 staying with Manchester - albeit in Reserve.
RE: Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - stagecoachbusdepot - 03 Jul 2018
Anyone know what's been replaced (withdrawn) at Kendal now that the ex Manc E200s are in service?
Also, are Kendal vehicles outstationed anywhere other than Ambleside?
RE: Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - RBZ 5459 - 30 Oct 2018
Hull-based 10735 and 10743 are on loan to Lancaster for the rest of this year.
RE: Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - RBZ 5459 - 13 Nov 2018
With the winter season now started, Lillyhall's and Carlisle's Trident open-topper fleet are undergoing repaint into the blue/green Lakes Connection livery - as worn by the 555-branded E400s.
RE: Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - RBZ 5459 - 25 Nov 2018
(25 Nov 2018, 8:11 pm)RBZ 5459 Now out in the open.... I can say that Lancaster are due 18 new E400MMC in the coming weeks for service 1. There are also two new E400MMC for Carlisle depot for use on the 685 to solve capacity issues.
All the above are to be delivered in corporate livery with minimal branding for each service.
These additional buses for Cumbria & North Lancashire are included in an extension of the 2018 order.
RE: Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - S830OFT - 25 Nov 2018
Will the 685 have the Deckers for all journeys?

Sure will. 27141 and 27142 will move onto the 104s, displacing two MANvro to disposals.
Similarly in Lancaster, current E400 on the 1 will move to the 2 displacing MANviro to disposals.

Surprised the MANviro's aren't moving else where to replace the MANs (such as 22082 at Newcastle)

They could always give 22599 to Slatyford for the 100 and some of 24116 - 24124 to join 24101 - 24115 in the North East.

They'll be on C&NL disposals for other regions to bid for them, but couldn't see many takers as everyone knows how poor they are. The native Cumbria ones aren't too bad considering, as they've had money spent on them over the years.
22599 will be staying put as it's got a Cummins lump in and is pretty reliable.

11157 should enter service on Monday 14th.
Lancaster's are also due to enter service then too.
Entry of the new buses means that 18139, 18140, 47140 and 2 Darts are planned to be taken out of service at Morecambe, into Operational Reserve - the Solo and Darts are likely to remain in service. 19145 is transferring to Carlisle, with 12 E300s due to be parked up at Lillyhall for regional disposal.
Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - TEN 6083 - 11 Jan 2019
11157 has been parked at Carlisle Bus Station this afternoon on what looks like driver familiarisation

One for those (like me!) who have missed the current decker board Monday-Friday on the 685, 11157 should now be allocated all week (inc Hexham shorts on Sunday), alongside one of the current Cross Pennine saloons.
RE: Cumbria & North Lancashire Bus Operations - RBZ 5459 - 17 Jan 2019
19144 is on 685s today, just in case anyone is out for 11157.
