Yes, it should be 22149 but in its absence it would be 20219 (both seat-belted vehicles as it does the 520 school contract at William Howard School, Brampton).

Thanks again I thought that was probably a big miss at the time. The one B10 I didn't see over the 2 days was 20960.

Dennis Dart 34220 was noted on Workington Town Service 50 on Friday 18th October.
It has joined 34218 at Lillyhall.

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
Olympian 16336 is on the 104 Center Parcs service today covering for 18365 which seems to be in for maintenance. Last week it was covering for 18361 which was at Carlisle on the 61 a few days. 16336 is not a good bus to travel on on a wet day.

The three vehicles on the Wigton school contracts today were 16776, 20710 and 52629. 52626 was with the two Tridents 18357 and 18361 on the Caldew school runs.

20960 was on its regular runs on the 0940/1340 600 Cockermouth and the 1640 301 back to Workington.

20965 was parked up at the side of the depot. Although this is down as the Penrith staff shuttle, it often appears in service in Carlisle and was on the 93/38 on at least one day last week. When Newton Rigg college is on, the X9 bus can do the driver changeovers at Penrith and a separate vehicle is not needed.

20977 while on the fleetcard as reserve is parked up with the front panel off and without ticket machine, tax disc or O licence so it does not look like it will be in service any time soon.

Does 20960's regular run on the 600 include Saturday's?

16714 has appeared at ME, anyone know why?

On Monday to Friday, there is a board which does the 0655 Workington-Carlisle 301, the 0940 and 1340 600 and then the 1640 back to Workington on the 301. This is what 22960 is usually to be found on. I have never understood this, but it is a Carlisle vehicle working outstationed at Lillyhall. Why it is not a West Cumbria operation I do not know.

The 600 is different on Saturdays and the 301 is Monday to Friday only. I do not go into Carlisle on Saturdays very often but I do not think 20960 works on Saturdays and presumably is parked up over there for the weekend. Perhaps someone else on here can explain this?

The other B10M I mentioned yesterday, 20965, is out on the 60 city service today. The 60 is a regular route for the ex-Manchester A300s so I suspect that one of them has broken down. Also 18361 is back on the 61 again today with 18365 back at Penrith with 16336.

Boosting capacity on Uni runs until low floor deckers are available.

It might as well be a Lillyhall run these days. The bus used to do the 6:55 300 then would run empty to Wigton to run in again on 8:55 Syke Rd Wigton - Carlisle 600 before going onto 93s. A separate bus used to do the 9:40 and 13:40 600s.

On a Saturday it does the Asby - Cockermouth - Carlisle 600, 11:40 600 to WC Hospital, back to Carlisle then 15:40 600 to Asby, running empty back to Lillyhall.

Thanks guys sounds like it is unlikely to get a B10 on Saturday so I might have to visit on a weekday this week. A couple of weeks ago it was bit different with 20944 on the 600 and 20219 on the Penrith staff shuttle one day and on the 38 the next. I didn't see 20960 or 20965 at all.

RE: Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire
Can anyone enlighten me on what the four Barrow olys do as a couple of hours in a downpour at Barrow this morning drew a blank? I thought one might show up and even go into public service a bit like at Kendal.

Talking of Kendal is 16642 still in traffic as I didn't see it move from the corner of the garage yesterday?

I was pleasantly surprised to see 20905 and 20906 out and about thought they had gone.
