Windermere +Bus

[reb0118]

Hi I'm heading down to Windermere tomorrow for a wee sail on the Lake Cruisers. Will prob get the 599 bus from the station to the pier head and back. The +Bus fare is £4.80 for a day ticket. Is this value? or should I buy on the bus? I know the Lakes can be a bit pricey but I can't see it being more than £2.40 single for a 10min bus ride. Does anyone know the standard cash fares?

Maybe it's because I'm being spoiled here with Linithgow +Bus for only £1.50. Now that IS value.

Cheers.


ps I'm heading off at 06.30 so will may not see your replies until I ger back.

You're a guard for Scotrail aren't you? If you have a PRIV card, I believe this applies on +bus tickets aswell so you would get your 75% discount, bringing the cost down to £1.20.

£1.60 each way is the last information that I can find. Alternatively, it's about a 25-30 minute walk.

Staff do NOT get discounts on the +Bus portion of the ticket, staff using their discount should be issued a ticket to the interchange station and a seperate +Bus ticket from the interchange point.

Appologies, I've evidently misunderstood the system.

No privs on +Bus but we can buy undiscounted +Bus tickets. There was a lot of confusion with that when the scheme started.

Just walked it as was good to stretch my legs after the train journey. Only took 20mins. (I won't say how long it took uphill on the way back after a few pints).

Managed to get a run on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite as well. Al in all a good day.
