Yes, 34685.
Not 100% on 16645, but it was definitely a VPN Oly/RL with a 5 at the end of the registration and fleet number!

Seen both 34685 & 33036 in Arnside this week.
The Tridents have been making regular appearance on the 555 this last week.
Lillyhall's latest addition, Solo 47146 PX54 EPF, is out on Workington towns today in new livery. Unfortunately it has a very flashy LED blind and none of my attempts today managed to get it showing.
Is she from Barrow???
Random, and not sure when they started doing this, only noticed myself today (despite them being on 47020 and 47146 when I got photos yesterday), but legals on some Lillyhall buses have had "Stagecoach North West Ltd T/A" added above them, so they now show:
Stagecoach North West Ltd T/A
Cumberland Motor Services
16-20 Lowther Street
Carlisle CA3 8DA
I'm assuming buses are being updated as they have their scheduled service.

What are the operational Olympians at LL now? Havent seen P484HBA or R267NBV for a week or two.
Fire severely damaged a Stagecoach bus on the A7 between Blackford and Harker, near Carlisle.
A passenger on the 7.10pm Dumfries-Carlisle service noticed smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle and alerted the driver who stopped and evacuated the bus.
Nobody was injured but the fire took hold.
Firefighters say the back of bus was destroyed. Two fire appliances from Carlisle attended the blaze, which closed the road.
Melted plastic had to be cleared from the carriageway. The A7 re-opened just after 10pm.
Stagecoach sent another vehicle to rescue the stranded passengers.
A spokesman said: “There was an incident on one of our buses operating on Service 79 yesterday evening. An investigation has started to determine the cause of this incident.
"Our driver promptly evacuated the vehicle, there were no injuries sustained by any party. We would like to reassure our customers that such incidents are extremely rare and that our investigation into the cause will be thorough and that all such matters are reported.”
22142 I'm told.
The only time I ever been on 22142 it broke down.. From the same batch as 22121 that recently was destroyed by fire too! A write off I presume?
Yes, 22142 is a write off.
22121 wasn't destroyed, didn't even need a new engine or gearbox.
22142 I'm told.
Walkergate's 33127 on 685 this morning due to 52626 breakdown in Newcastle. A lot of sand down at the bay where it comes in - if related.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
33127 arrived back into Newcastle 20 minutes late, had 685 Hexham board up with NIS blind. 52626 back on 14:45 slot, heading out 25 mins late.
22142 is a complete mess and one of the worse I have seen after fire damage.
22160 is nearing a return to service at Carlisle while 22137 has been repainted now and like 22160 is just awaiting it's new engine to be fitted.
22149 should make it's return to service tommorow.
47062 and 47721 in the paintshop along with the last Morecambe Versa.
18145 is now completed and should be on it's way back to Chorley.
16329/16393/16294 all now at Carlisle.

Sand was nothing to do with 52626.
It expired at Eldon Square and the only thing that was left to give us was 33127 which operated into Carlisle an hour late. A phone call was made to confirm 52626 would be available to go back out so 33127 was sent straight back after I put a window board in it to save it going back NIS.
50mph so not too bad speed wise, certainly better than 34700 which has been on often enough.
47721 getting a normal paint or something special?
47062 is getting the new livery if that answers your question. #avoid question
