A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
With not all that many of the bus services in Penrith still running at this time of the day, but not wishing to use a rail service,we next board the 2030 Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire service X5 to Bridgefoot (the bus stop at Low Bridge on Chapel Terrace) that arrives there at 2200 on Monday.

Thwarted once again.... <D

In all honesty, it was a blessing; there are only so many journeys we can make in and around the Cumbrian Coast area (hence why I moved towards the likes of Carlisle and Penrith) and, as you say yourself, there weren't that many bus services remaining.

We take the eleven minute (0.5 mile) walk to Singer railway station for the 09.06 ScotRail service 2E59 to Balloch arriving at 09.33 on Tuesday.
Glad to be somewhere other than Workington et al., we next board the 0938 ScotRail service 2E66 to Carntyne, arriving there at 1035 on Tuesday.
