Not too long ago, Me and my friend Mia went to Carlisle. After riding a alison gearbox optare solo, We went our seperate ways, With her heading to Lancaster to get a dennis dart SLF. I meanwhile, Stayed in Carlisle, And upon noticing a ex Liverpool X5 Express ADL enviro 300, Branding mostly in tact and all, I knew I had to take a ride! However, As you'll see, Things didn't go to plan.
------------------------------------------------------------------
JOURNEY INFO:
Vehicle: 59 Reg MAN 18.240LF ADL Enviro300 - PX59 AZF (24119)
Service: 61 - 61 - Harraby - Morton Park/ Morton West
bustimes.org/services/61-harr...
Total Journey time: Approx. 55 Minutes.
Extra info: Was new to Willowholme depot in 2009, And for most of it's life, has been based at various cumbria depots, Although, For a period from 2018 to 2020, This vehicle was used out of Gilmoss depot. The x5 express service initially used some Volvo B7R Plaxton Profiles, Only for stagecoach to find out that the service was massively unpopular compared to the rival Arriva Sapphire X1, Even with the comfy coaches. This service swapped to e300s in a attempt to make it viable.
The service was withdrawn during 2020 for obvious reasons, and all the e300s, still wearing the X5 decals, returned to Carlisle again, and has been there ever since.
