Stagecoach Cumbria & NL vehicles were 15725, 15728 (golakestravel.co.uk rear ad), 15729 (K Village rear advert) on the 555; 53336/8 on the X4/5 (Penrith-Workington) together with 35246 working the Workington to Keswick short workings. 47721/2 were on the 77/77A; 34717 was on the 86 to Portinscale; 18357 (554 branded Trident) was on the 78 to Seatoller. Solo 47474 was present but was not displaying any route info.
Reays Open top Olympian R650 HYG was working the competing 555R service.
Apologies for adding non Stagecoach C&NL info, but it added to the picture in this instance.

47474 is the usual bus on the Saturday only service 73, the Caldbeck Rambler, which has a break in Keswick from 1.30pm.
If 18357 was on the 78, the open top Tridents 17217 and 17277 must be out of service again. 34717 would have been replacing 18357 as the 86 to Portinscale is linked with the 554.

Thanks for the explanation. 47474 was carrying no route info at all, even when it was seen arriving in Keswick (from Penrith/south) direction at 1.35pm.
