That is it for the evening so the next available service is Stagecoach in Cumbria 87 bus at 06:42 as far as Egremont, o/s Red Lion Hotel where we arrive at 06:48 on Wednesday morning.

***Please note this has been edited as I had taken us to a stop (Sellafield, by Visitors Centre) from where there are no other services and from where it is not possible to get to another stop within the 0.5 mile rule***

We're at Egremont.

I know, my Macbook is running very slow and isn't refreshing the page, so I didn't notice.

We then board the 0701 Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire* service 30 to Workington (Bus Station), arriving there at 0803 on Wednesday morning.

* I've been missing out the North Lancashire part of the company name. This is their official title according to the Stagecoach website.

I agree with Paul. Thank you for doing so. No one else on here would do the same as they have no thought process when making moves!

That was exceedingly kind of you to have done that.

Thank you for the kind words, I assure you my motives are maybe not as altruistic but more just me wanting to keep the game going.

We continue our travels as we board the 1127 Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire service X5 to Keswick (Bus Station), arriving there at 1202 on Wednesday afternoon.

Leaving behind our time in Wordsworths country we take 13:00 Stagecoach 555 service as far as Lancaster Bus Station where we arrive at 1516 on Wednesday afternoon.
