Also, I reckon the 555 could get a upgrade to Stagecoach Gold, with 8 X ADL 400 bought, allowing 15723-29 to be released to Barrow for the 6 (Windermere/Croftlands-Ulverston-Barrow) allowing 18140-44 to displace Olympians. 15729 would be spare so that could replace 18357 at Carlisle on the 554.
Also, the Open Top Tridents will need to be replaced in the next year or so, but what could be a possible replacement?
Carlisle will be getting new vehicles for the 685. As for the 555, as those Scanias are only 3 years old and it is the flagship route of the Lakes so won't get an upgrade for another 2 years or so (most flagship routes are updated every 5 years).
