On Monday to Saturday, the full route hourly service has 3 x Carlisle and 2 x Slatyford so I would expect the same.
The text below appeared on Stagecoach CNL dated 11 Oct 2024:
"685 Carlisle - Newcastle: A revised timetable will be introduced to improve punctuality of this service. There will also be a minor route change around Melkridge. In addition, Sunday services will operate as through journeys to Newcastle rather than Hexham funded by Northumberland County Council. Updated timetable available to view soon."

Note a lot of other Stagecoach CNL changes on 04 Nov which conincides with start of winter timetables in Central Lake District
