Wishing to visit the hinterland of this area and being notified that the bus stops outside the railway station, we next board the 1357 Stagecoach in Cumbria and South Lancashire Travellers Choice service 530 to Cartmel (Clogger Beck) that arrives there at 1428 on Wednesday afternoon

The 530 isn't operated by Stagecoach, but Travellers Choice is the operator.

Well, anyway, that has caused us a big old stump! Because there aren't any more buses for the day! I think all we can do is return in the morning for the 0930 Travellers Choice service 530 to Kendal (Bus Station), arriving there at 1040 on Thursday morning.
