Further to this post- https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/england/the-kirkstone-pass-between-windermere-and-ullswater-road-closures the final phase of the long running improvement of the Kirkstone Pass has been delayed from March-
it is now on 16 to 30 April 2024.
So, by May we should have a significantly improved travelling experience
This means that the #508 bus from Penrith to Windermere will not run between Patterdale and Windermere during this time- this was notified after the timetable book went to print, so is not shown therein.
