Was around Bardon Mill, but NCC have been out to lob a few trees so its okay now. 11157 was eating through three front upper windows a week at worst...! Oddly unique to the MMCs.... older E400 and Tridents had no problems.

Re trees.

So I am guessing on this bit of road (the old A69) NCC is responsible for the trees so Stagecoach speak to NCC who prune?  Any financial compensation from NCC?

At The Sands Brampton, the few big trees on the A6071 at the bus stops are Brampton Parish Council responsibility.  These trees are mostly pruned by passing HGVs except the two at the turn in and out for the Carlisle bound bus stop layby and Brampton Parish Council pruned these a few years ago.

I recall seeing a flickr photo of a Trident part open top being repainted in Carlisle depot at the start of this year as it had been out with contractors on a tree pruning run (Keswick-Seatoller?) - so does that mean at times Stagecoach go out and prune trees at Stagecoach cost?
