Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
Although quite a few ALX300s have been transferred to Carlisle, they are not very common in service just yet. Last Saturday, I saw 22134 and 22137 on the 38 and 600. Yesterday the only one I saw in service was 22142 looking very fresh on the 38. 22134 was nowhere about and 22137 was outside the garage with its front panel missing, looking as if it had been towed in. 22160 seemed to be getting prepared for the paintshop.
At least some of the buses loaned to Gillmoss have returned - 24121 and 24122 were on the 79/179 (24122 still had a rear advert for a Liverpool college) and 34686 was on the 60.
The only B10M buses I saw were 20456 on the 600; 20959 on the 38/93; 20944 on the 104 from Penrith outstation; 20904 on its regular 94/97 run and 20128 out of service in the Bus Station. It looks like 20456 has been transferred from Kendal as it has been about for a few days.
I have noticed that one of Carlisle's Olympians (from Penrith outstation) now does the X9 service from Newton Rigg College to Cleator Moor - this must be one of the longest runs for one of these buses - I reckon it to be about 50 miles!
