New Enviro200s continue to arrive and the latest is 37116. The most recent ten (37107-116) are registered YY14 WEV/WEW/WEX/WFA/WFB/WFC/WFD/WFE/WFF/WFG and all have advert frames on the rear and nearside - presumably they will not be route branded as the one on the rear will not leave room for it. Because of the centre emergency exit, frames cannot be fitted to the offside. Most of the first 20 (37086-105) are now route-branded and 37106 is the new Carlisle Youth Zone bus. Only ten more to come now, as well as the two Enviro300s 27141/2 for the 685 Newcastle.

The 05-reg Darts are now much reduced in number - 34705/6/7/11-14 are still around as well as 34715-19 which should be staying. Most of the others seem to have gone. 34704 went to Lillyhall in exchange for 35249 some time ago and I assume it is still there as 35249 is still in service at Carlisle. I don't know if it will return to Lillyhall to release 34704. W-reg 34221 is still in service and 34219 is on loan to Lillyhall while 22269 is also still at Carlisle. All the ex-Manchester MAN A300s also remain in service - looks like they will be the last to go although 22149 should stay as it is nominally for the 520 schools and 94/97 services.

22269 will be staying at Carlisle as it is seatbelt fitted/DDA compliant and a replacement for 20219.

Yes, it is on the 520/94 today. Does this mean 22149 will also stay or go?

The final deliveries were made on Friday but 37122 broke down en route and does not seem to have arrived in Carlisle yet.
The route branding of 37086-105 has been completed with the exception of a few rears and the route allocation is:
37086-88 : 60.
37089-91 : 76.
37092-97 : 67/68.
37098-102 : 61/61A.
37103-105 : 62/62A.
35249 has returned to Lillyhall and 34708-710 have been transferred to there along with MAN 22134. 22137/139/143/160 are now out of service and in the dead lane at the side of the depot.

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
22134, 34708-10 have all been noted in service at Lillyhall. In addition 47022 is still in use and 47060 is back in service.
Reays started a new service 20 today from Thornhill to Whitehaven running 5 mins in front of the Stagecoach service 30. I have heard Stagecoach are putting on extra buses too which is presumably what the influx of extra vehicles wil be for. I did hear another MAN has arrived too, but this is unconfirmed.
