Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
Could someone clarify the new deliveries of Scania DDs to the old Stagecoach North West? I understood 15818-22 were going to Morecambe for the 42, 15823 to Preston for the extra on the 2/2A and 15839-40 to Chorley in due course for the extra 125/126. Now 15821-2 have surfaced at Barrow and there has been reference above to 15820 being branded so is this going to Barrow as well?

I think the 42 needs three buses and the new X6 needs four whereas the old X35 just about coped with three - whenever I saw it at Kendal it arrived late and left even later after taking on a healthy load so the increase to four buses will see an improvement in timekeeping. There has been reference to the Cumbria Tridents 18278-80 being troublesome, they are certainly elusive on the X35 - in several visits over the last 7 years or so I have never seen more than one out of the three on the X35. Are days numbered for 18278-80?
