I'll get the 0945 or 1045 685, ex-Newcastle - whichever one most people on here decide to go on.
I'm up for a City bash too; the Cumberland Infirmary is a good place for shots of the buses coming in and going out.
Probably leave on the 1607 - I can't justify myself being at Carlisle for any longer, especially considering that I go there 5 days a week!!
Day ticket is £2.90; quite a bargain if you intend to milk it. Can also use it on Stagecoach Gold on Wigton Road where you can connect with a 61/61A.
(2 and a half hours on an Omnicity is absolutely daft if you ask me)
