There is no standalone PVR now, as the old X35 route has been merged into the original 6/6A as an extension to Kendal as opposed to a standalone service, such that a bus reaches Barrow as an X6, then goes back out to Ulverston as a 6. The combined PVR on the main 6/X6 is 7 (previously 6 on 6/6A and 4 on X35 but there was only 3 council owned Tridents), with 1 bus on the Barrow - Windermere 6 (commercial replacement for contracted service 618), and a Kendal based bus (should be a Trident) on the college extra (replacement of service 735).

Council owned 18278-18280 are awaiting return to the council, although they're needing some work done first. One has been off service for months, while another has been constantly breaking down. For now, 2 are stored at Barrow with the third stored at Kendal.

Thanks for the update. Are there any plans to equip the 42 Lancaster - Blackpool with new vehicles or is it Olympian for the forseeable future? And does the 6/X6 operate with 5 Enviro400s and 2 Tridents?
