What ticket do you intend to buy? If it is a return from Ulverston - Whitehaven then you wouldn't be starting short at Carlisle as that is before Whitehaven on the return and an additional ticket would be required between Carlisle and Whitehaven I believe.

There are no trains from Whitehaven-ulverston not via Carlisle on a Sunday

It looks like it will have to be two singles? Or a single and a cumbria ranger?

There are no trains south of Whitehaven on Sundays. The only way to go by rail from Whitehaven to Ulverston on a Sunday would be by changing at Carlisle and Lancaster.

Hence the question, I suspect.

Not quite but you can buy Ulverston to Carlisle return and finish short at Whitehaven.

you can buy Ulverston to Carlisle return and finish short at Whitehaven.

It may be best to buy an Anytime Short Return Ulverston - Whitehaven via Sellafield, which costs £16.40, and to excess the return leg only to route Any Permitted, which allows travel via Carlisle and Lancaster and costs £47.70.

The excess fare in one direction only costs half the difference, that's £15.65, making a total cost of £32.05.
