1) Traveline lists Cumbria in the North East region rather than the North West region. If I could have guaranteed more discussion (on a similar level to the posts in the normal North East section), I'd have placed it in the North East section. As there is still minimal posts in the threads we've got for operators in Cumbria & North Lancs, I'd prefer to keep it separate.

2) You guys in the North West provide us with so many posts, it would perhaps be best off to keep them separate - just so people don't get lost off if there is more than one topic of discussion at once (similar to the point Andreos raised above).

3) A number of enthusiasts from the North East are interested in Stagecoach in Cumbria's fleet - but I think that's where interest will stop for many of us. I don't think a lot of enthusiasts from the North East would want to scroll through all of the posts about North West independents just in case it might be about something that they are interested in.
