(16 Mar 2014, 7:18 pm)Dan Was previously impossible to get to Lancaster and back from Newcastle in one day, but is now (although you can only get 25 or so mins there)... Perfect for a final day after a week coming back and forth from Sunderland though.

Hows your plan getting along? Smile

Yes, between Kingstown or Belle Vue and Windermere, but also there will be shorter journeys between Windermere and Penrith, six a day in each direction between Windermere and Penrith, but two extend to Belle Vue or Kingstown.

A few more to come over time Wink

They do look really good in green.

The green Darts have now received their Lakes Connection branding for use on the 505.

Ex Midlands Darts 33397 (Morecambe), 33460 (Carlisle) and 33911 (Lillyhall) are all in service now. Kendal's 34119 may be too but I can't confirm that one. Sadly they're not in the best condition. 33397 and 33911 are both covering a PVR increase at Morecambe and Lillyhall, 33460 is running the Center Parcs staff shuttle service from Penrith outstation, while 34119 should be the replacement for 34079 at Kendal, 34079 having been withdrawn to disposal after blowing another engine.

47022 has returned to Carlisle from loan at Barrow, helping to provide the 3rd vehicle required on the Buttermere circulars this year. In theory 47022 will work Carlisle routes releasing 47474 for the 3rd Buttermere bus.

(12 Apr 2014, 5:16 pm)Richard Smiles The Stagecoach Bus Handbook 2014, confirms that Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire are to receive 41 x Enviro 200 bodied
E20D's from the Stagecoach UK Bus 2014/2015 New Vehicle orders.

These are to carry Fleet No.s 37086 - 37126 & are ALL allocated to Carlisle.

In addition 1 Optare Solo M880 SL is also on order, will be numbered 47921 & again will be allocated to Carlisle.

There was mention that Cumbria & North Lancashire were to receive a number of E400s for Lillyhall & Morecambe, but this appears NOT to be the case unless, they are transfers from elsewhere or will be on an order to be placed at a later date.

Which services will use the E200's?

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Some/all of the MANs are due to be withdrawn. I think they're that clapped out now that nowhere else will want them!

I'm going to have a bit of a mission trying to photograph all of these new E200s!
(I work in Carlisle and occasionally catch the bus - normally the 76 so hopefully it won't be too bad).

Wonder where the darts are going to go then. They're 9 years old now!

The arrival of Carlisle's new E200s has begun, with 37086 (YX14RXL) being shown in this shot.

The others to have arrived so far are:
- YX14RXM
- YX14RXN
- YX14RXO
- YX14RXP
- YX14RXR
- YX14RXS
- YX14RXT

This would lead to the assumption that they will be numbered 38087-93, given that they've arrived in alphabetical order.

In other news, 18325 has received a new wrap advertisement - this one is for Hayes Garden Centre.

I was under the impression that these vehicles weren't scheduled to arrive for another month, but I'd imagine they'd get them out as soon as they're ready? I really don't know though.

I've not. My auntie used to take me to garden centres when I was young, but I never really had much of an interest in them.

Few years ago I'd cut the grass for a fiver, but my interest stopped there when it came to gardening!
