Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire is a major operator of bus services in North West England. It is a subsidiary of the Stagecoach Group, and has its origins in the purchase of Cumberland in 1987 and Ribble in 1988 from the National Bus Company. The head office of Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire is in Carlisle. It was previously known as Stagecoach North West until 1 September, when Stagecoach Merseyside joined Preston and Chorley depots to form Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire.
Stagecoach North West operates services in Carlisle, Lancaster, Morecambe and the Lake District with service 685 running from Carlisle to Newcastle (joint with Arriva Jesmond depot) and services 79/179 from Carlisle to Annan and Dumfries. Stagecoach also operates Route 80, which is a Annan Town service, despite Annan not been the company region.
Currently 2 different brand names are used;
Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire also run several services which are contracted to Cumbria County Council, or Lancashire County Council.
Stagecoach in Cumbria is a trading name of Stagecoach North West Ltd and operates services around the Cumbria area (formerly known as Stagecoach Cumberland, Stagecoach Ribble and Barrow Borough Transport).
Cumberland was one of the first National Bus Company subsidiaries to be privatised: this was almost immediately after gaining the Penrith and Carlisle depots from Ribble. The company was bought from the NBC by Stagecoach, who split it into two territories: CMS Carlislebus for services within Carlisle itself and CMS Cumberland for the rest of the services; eventually both territories merged with Ribble's south Cumbria services to become Stagecoach Cumberland.
