Interesting. As the comments I have read elsewhere stated Stagecoach taking over Arriva journeys, I made the assumption it was a straight 3 SNE for 3 Arriva.
But then it does explain the changes to the first and last services as there is a bus 1 hour earlier from Carlisle that only goes to Hexham and then back.
So does this mean SCNL have overall control of the route and SNE are 'subcontracted' to operate part or is there some other arrangement?
I think therefore we will see 27141 and 27142 alternating for the 3rd SCNL bus.
