20960 moved back up from Kendal last week (or the week before), with 20945 going in to Kendal.

Thanks for that. 20960 is on the same work again today - does this stay overnight at Lillyhall?

Also Olympian 16650 is on the 78 today so both the open-top tridents must still be off the road.

18380 which was shown on P4 as moved to Carlisle now seems to be working from Lillyhall (it was on the 600 at 1140 from Carlisle today) so I guess there was a three-way swap with 20945-20960-18380.

Slightly more complicated than that
18380 was on loan to Carlisle for a few weeks, used as a 3rd bus on 78 to sort out running reliability issues. 17246 was initially used. 18380 returned to Lillyhall after 78 returned to it's hourly frequency, in time for Lillyhall's school work starting up again.
B10M swaps, initially Kendal 20712 and Carlisle 20960 swapped, then Carlisle 20712 and Lillyhall 20945 swapped (mainly used at Penrith), then Carlisle 20945 and Kendal 20960 swapped, so really a complicated 3 way swap between 20712, 20945 and 20960. 21007 Morecambe to Kendal, with 20711 Kendal to Lillyhall.

21007 is still is service at ME, apparantly it went on the 41 to Preston last week!
21004 has also been reinstated at ME with 05 shortly to follow.
Are these being reinstated due to repaints?

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
21007 left ME weeks ago as have got 22595 from lillyhall and the single deck fleet is now 100% low floor and 21004 hasn`t been out on the road since the Enviro300s went to the olympics last year and was withdrawn when they returned.

Thanks. I think I followed all of that!

Thanks for clearing that up, it was passed on information about the Striders and obviously a load of c**p

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
On the period 5 fleetcard, 20965 was shown as transferred to Ancillary and was being used as the Penrith staff shuttle for driver changeovers on the 104 Center Parcs service. It is now back in service at Carlisle and was on the 93 Carlisle-Bowness today.

Volvo coach 52626 was moved to Lillyhall when the 61-reg ADL Enviro300s moved to Carlisle for the 685 but this is now back at Carlisle and in use on the 523 Wigton Nelson Thomlinson school contract. All the seatbelt-fitted vehicles at Carlisle now have hinged school bus signs fitted to front and rear (16776, 20219, 20710, 22149, 52626 and 52629).

24123 is back in service at Penrith newly painted and without its 104 Center Parcs route branding.
