The Summer Stagecoach Lake District Summer Bus Timetable is now available-
Note- Buses from Ambleside to Coniston and Langdale (Old Dungeon Ghyll) are again hourly this year; the Buttermere to Cockermouth Bus will run an extended season from May to August this year; On the Penrith to Windermere via Ullswater service a new very early walkers bus will run to Penrith, with a return mid evening service;
The Kendal to Kirkby Lonsdale bus will extend to Ingleton (Yorkshire Dales) on Saturdays only- for weekend hikers. So you can easily holiday in the Lake District and go to Ingleton for a day as well.
The Ullswater Hopper walkers bus to Howtown will run on weekdays during School Vacations as well as weekends all season. Also the weekend Keswick to Ullswater direct bus will run again.
The 554 bus from Carlisle to Keswick will again have the weekend extra journeys via Caldbeck; also there is a new early morning bus from Carlisle to Keswick, and mid evening return. So visiting the Lake District from a base in the city of Carlisle becomes even more viable than it already was.
