There was a post awhile back about some buses, ones to be displaced by new electrics, going to Carlisle to replace older buses.
From a CNL related Facebvook group, the following was posted yesterday/today:
"Another batch of vehicles to start to head into the region over the next few weeks or so are 15 ADL Enviro 300s from Stagecoach North East. Numbered 27160 to 27174, they currently operate at Stockton depot where they were new to but now being replaced by Yutong electric saloons. These will be allocated at Morecambe removing the last batches of MANviro and also some to Carlisle, removing older less appealing E200. "
Some of these had been at Slatyford and had worked the 685.
