As from Monday 25 January the Kendal town bus services are operating with reduced frequency. In particular the no. 41/41A will be an hourly 41 service, departing from Kendal at 15 minutes past the hour. All journeys run via Kendal Parks, then Oxenholme and the hospital. Timing at Oxenholme is half past the hour, so a minute or two later at the top of Oxenholme Lane - from bus stop on NEAR side of the A65. Timetable HERE.
Timetables for service 567 and Sunday service 40 remain unchanged.
