Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
Nothing much has happened at Carlisle over the last couple of months. 20459 suffered a major failure on 9th December, was swapped with reserve B10M 20457 and has been laid up in the dead lane ever since. 22149 was on loan to Lillyhall but has returned and is often used on the 91B school service and the 0940 600 service to Cockermouth/West Cumberland Hospital, although officially it is in reserve.

The contract for the 520 to William Howard school at Brampton finished in November and since that time the 94 and 101 journeys which were linked with it have often been worked by the spare Solo (47721 or 47722) when one of these have been available rather than 22269. However notice was given on the 94 and 101 journeys and they will be withdrawn from this coming weekend. This leaves the 94 service with just one journey each morning to Crosby on Eden and will reduce the pvr at Carlisle by one SD to 11 but as there are only 12 allocated (apart from 4 at Penrith) it may be that the allocation will stay the same to give a spare SD.
