It appears that some Stagecoach customers are not happy with the new Optare Solo's in Carlisle.

Just a tad late on this one...!

Pretty much anything can go on the short 685. Olympians, Tridents, Solos, Darts, E200s, you name it, it's probably been on it. Smile

Usually a Solo though. (Either the old type or the SR).

There are many reasons, e.g one is VOR.

Mad that buses have to have inspections every few weeks? If one comes in late (which is very much possible being the long route it is) they'll have another ready to send out. Breakdowns too.

2 buses to cover a PVR of 2.

Apparently, according to a member of the Stagecoach Enthusiasts Facebook Group, Stagecoach Cumbria's Carlisle Depot has been evacuated due to flooding/the risk of flooding with the buses parked on nearby streets.

Proved to be a good decision as the depot is flooded worse than in 2005.

There is an image of several buses parked on the Bus Lane in Carlisle City Centre on "The Northern Road Transport Trust" Facebook Group.
I assume the flooding will still cause major disruption as they will have issues refuelling the vehicles, checking the vehicles, finding the vehicles and so on.

Buses in Cumbria were still suffering with closures and diversions prior to the latest storms.

Amongst several I saw:

The road joining the east of Staveley with the A591 is closed, meaning the 555 is forced to do a u-turn in the middle of the village.

Kendal has a bridge closure too, meaning diversions there.
