Anyway, my rides last Saturday were on

While it did make sense for Stagecoach to run route 685 from depots at both ends of the route, it did occur to me how unlikely it was before privatisation that Newcastle / Tyne & Wear PTE depot Slatyford was to run buses out to Carlisle.
You know I think Wakergate would have done a better job at running the 685 than Slatyford since some vhicles there are unreliable at slatyford
