I presume you mean my Flickr site. There are plenty of other photos taken of vehicles at Garstang, but this is one I put together with some narrative of events there
https://www.flickr.com/photos/mals_uk_buses/albums/72157626148681683
Taken on 13 May 2018. Walked up those steps and inside many, many times! Ground floor to the left was mostly ticket audit. Ground floor to the right mostly traffic office, with another room for tours and centred holidays run by Mr Cox [aka Long Tom]
The Stagecoach Cumbria Open Day at Carlisle on 23 May is also off. No replacement being planned for later in the year, so the event should be at Carlisle in 2021.
Gold services on Chester to Liverpool start this Friday 30th Ocotber
Gold services on Preston to Bolton start on 16th November.

Travelled back from Liverpool on 15905 at 1554 ex Queen's Square yesterday. Is it unusal to see one of these on the X2? I thought 15823 was the usual cover vehicle.

If you look on some of the individual timetables the wording is
"Low floor easy access buses are normally operated on these services, however this may not always be possible due to operational reasons". Some you have listed don't even have that on - low floor vehicles are not mentioned at all...
