Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
Olympian 16645 which I reported being towed in last week was soon back on the road and was on the 104 today along with 18361, 24123 and 24124. Unbranded 24121 is also at Penrith on the 108 together with one of the B10Ms - I think 20219 as the usual 20944 has been at Carlisle for a week or so now and 20456 is on the 94/97.

I have noticed recently that the Dart SLFs on Carlisle city services 67/68 have gradually been losing their side route branding and only 34708/9 still have it, if indeed they still do. Not sure of the reason for this. Another change is that all the Darts now run with the driver's cab screens down - this must be something to do with the competition from Reay's who do not have screens at all. Also a 90p fare on weekdays before 9.30am has been introduced for passholders on Carlisle city services - Reay's have had a £1 fare for some time now.

Two ALX300 MANs were on the 38 today - 22139 and 22143 - but I did not see any others about. Another bus I have not seen lately is Trident 18357, but I might just have been missing this.
