(02 Sep 2014, 2:20 pm)AIG20 Apparently new ADL E300s 27141 and 27142 have entered service on the 685 today, according to "Lee Wardle" of the "Stagecoach Enthusiasts" Facebook Page.
Does anyone know which vehicles 27766 and 27767 will be replacing? I think it would be a good idea is they were converted into "bike buses" to replace elderly MAN ALX300s 22121 (S121 TRJ) and 22141 (S141 TRJ).

(13 Sep 2014, 1:29 pm)AIG20 MAN ALX300 22116 (S116 TRJ) has been repainted into "Driver Training" livery. ALX300 bodied vehicles certainly do suit this livery.

One of the two 2714x vehicles for 685s passed Longbyre earlier on what may be the last ever 685 trip through the village due to Cumbria County Council's bus funding cuts. Added to this, Telford's Coaches are being affected the same so it is only the Arriva 185s left!!

(22 Feb 2015, 2:57 pm)MarcTheA4 Might ride some of those when I go to the Lakes with my family in the May/June holidays.
We're spending a few nights there, and one day I think they're just going shopping in a few places, and I'm allowed to roam freely on a North West Explorer!
I've heard some of the fares over there are quite steep, though.
