Bus company Stagecoach will introduce its summer timetable from next week.
The firm is launching the new timetable from Monday and said it has included additional timetable refinements across the network to enhance reliability.
Summer services returning for the season include the 77/77A/77C routes between Keswick, Cockermouth and Buttermere, with minor timetable adjustments to improve punctuality.
Service 509 will also expand and will now operate daily, providing a direct connection between Keswick and Ullswater during the week.
The route will also link Penrith and Pooley Bridge via Rheged and Dalemain, improving access across the northern Lake District.
The 555 service between Keswick, Kendal and Lancaster will also see increased frequency, with buses operating every 30 minutes between Kendal and Keswick for much of the day from Monday to Saturday.
Additional improvements across include:
- UB1/UB2 Ullswater Hopper services return, including a new UB2 service increasing frequency between Aira Force and Pooley Bridge and extending to Lowther Castle
- 553 / 554 Carlisle – Keswick summer timetable begins, with more services via Caldbeck and additional daily journeys
- Revised timetable on the 30/300 corridor between Thornhill, Whitehaven, Workington, Maryport and Carlisle to improve punctuality
- Route and timetable changes on the 7/X7 to strengthen connectivity along the west coast
- Improved access to St Bees beach on service 32, supporting travel to a key coastal destination
Tom Waterhouse, Managing Director of Stagecoach Cumbria and Lancashire, said:
“We’re proud to operate services right at the heart of everyday life across Cumbria, connecting communities while helping people explore the Lake District.
“These summer improvements will make it easier and more convenient for customers to travel across the region, whether for work, leisure or tourism.”
