They turn most of the 685's straight round as they dont need a break due to it being taken off tacho, so it works out they can run Newcastle-Carlise-Newcastle within 5 hours 30 which is the legal limit on domestic driving rules.
There isnt one stabled at Carlise overnight.
It Does
Light To Hexham
X85 to Newcastle
85 To Hexham
Light To Carlise
Then Back as 685/85 Newcastle
Then at the end of the day it runs back light from Hexham.
Company trying to save money haha
