for timetables of temporary services, you'll have to look at the timetable boards along the route.
as usual, Stagecoach have been totally useless and removed all temporary route timetables from the website. the revised timetables and service changes info for 4th jan were only posted on the Stagecoach website yesterday!

Ahhhhh I should have guessed from you asking about the 300 lol.
yeah i pretty much gave it away there lol , im @ workington nearly everyday , and quite dependant on the 30's running there , and comming bk @ night i need the 301's as the 30's dont run after 630pm ,from the bridge, i come bk most days @ 9.30pm and i seen it up on the boards in workington bus station , that the 300 301 has route changes on the 4th which i have now found out about , but i do wonder that i heard the 300's 301's go to the bridge then threw seaton and run to timetable , what happens to the 301's comming from carisle that go to the bridge then threw seaton bk to carisle , casue then comming bk would mean that the 301 i use comming threw on the diversion from working , would mean that thre'd be 2 from maryport , so i ask is the 301 from carisle would not be doing the maryport to the bridge then threw seaton ,and goes on diversion from maryport as per usual
if im correct lol . and also me hearing the 30 upgraded evenings and sundays , id like to know if ther'd be any after 630pm from the bridge mon to fri cause comming bk @ 930 is a bit of a journey lol then i walk 1 mile from maryport to home lol . i also heard the 37 got route changes aswel

The following information taken from the Stagecoach website:-
Service Changes in West Cumbria
Timetable changes
From Monday 4th January 2010, Stagecoach will be making a number of changes to bus services in the West Cumbria area, mainly affecting those services operating around Whitehaven and Egremont.
1 Lowca – Parton – Bransty –Whitehaven – Kells
This service is revised to operate between Whitehaven town centre and Lowca only.
• The section of route between Whitehaven and Kells will mostly be replaced by a revised service 2 (details below).
• We will still be operating every 30 minutes, Monday to Saturdays to Lowca.
• The Sunday service will remain unchanged.
Please note that as a result of these changes, the lightly used section of route between Haig Pit and Whitehaven, via High Road, Harbour View and Rosemary Lane will no longer be served. Cumbria County Council are investigating the possibilities of replacing this section of route.
2 Whitehaven – Woodhouse – Greenbank
This service will have a revised route and timetable, to incorporate the busiest part of the section of service 1 to Kells.
• The revised route will be as follows: Existing route from Whitehaven to Ennerdale Terrace, then via High Road, Ravenhill Road, Solway Road, High Road, Rydal Avenue, then normal route to Greenbank terminus.
• From Greenbank, the bus will now operate direct fromWoodhouse Road to Loweswater Avenue, before returning straight back to Whitehaven town centre via the Ginns to Kells Road. As a result, service 2 will no longer serve the small section of route around Fleswick Avenue, Coniston Road and Crummock Avenue.
• Buses will still run every 30 minutes, Monday to Saturday daytimes.
22 Moresby Parks – Whitehaven – Cleator Moor – Cleator – Egremont
This service will have a revised timetable, with fewer journeys operating during Monday to Saturday daytimes. Unfortunately, the financial viability of this service means that we are unable to sustain the present timetable and have had to make these adjustments to better reflect demand.
• There are no changes to the separate evening and Sunday service 22, which is subsidised by Cumbria County Council.
30A Whitehaven – West Lakes Science Park – Bigrigg – Egremont
This service is withdrawn.
The main service 30 timetable, which provides the principal link between Whitehaven and Egremont continues unchanged. As a result of the service 30A cancellation, the very little used section of route around theWest Lakes Science Park will no longer be served. Customers should use the stops on the main A595 road instead.
600 Carlisle – Wigton – Cockermouth – Whitehaven – West Cumberland Hospital
The following journeys (Monday to Fridays) will no longer run, due to lack of usage:
17:55 Whitehaven to Cockermouth
18:45 Cockermouth to Whitehaven
No other journeys are affected.
I hope the new member, Leesters, finds it useful.

I loved the Javelins, they were great to drive - nice and high, warm and pretty quick too.
17021 depot bound around dinner time today
21007 I think on the 7 (Marsh)
20795 on a 3 heading for Morecambe Battery
20546 on the 80 for Ingleton
Noticed that 16668 I think has a dodgy LED screen, nearside part is lit brightly but the rest (where the destination is) is very pale, and hard to read and seems to blink as the intermediate points scroll along. This isnt the only bus Ive noticed suffering from this there is another Olympian with a similar fault but has the numbers pale.

I dont know if the B10M was actually allocated or standing in for a poorly MAN, I didnt see the 12-20 side of the bus station so dont know if there was a dead MAN on that side

16662 had its LED screen replaced with a new one as that was flickering. Good job the LED hanover blinds are on a 15-year guarantee.

Wow 15 year guarantee very good 
I'm sure the Javelins were a pain lol they looked clumsy haha.
Yeah they'll be a good reason why a B10 was running around on the 3, as you said maybe a MAN failed
Jonesy any idea what's happening with 16664/5?
