Bus Services - further reductions from the 30th March

Stagecoach are implementing further bus service reductions, whilst maintaining an essential service for key workers needing to travel to work, and for others to access shops to buy food.

Kendal town services 41/4A, 42/42A and 42/43A are all withdrawn. 

The service 40 on Sundays (which started in November) continues to run with the same timetable  - at hourly intervals from 9.38am to 5.38pm from bus stop on A65 at top of Oxenholme Lane (heading towards the hospital).  
The service 40 will also run on Monday-Saturday, though with the first bus at the earlier time of 7.38am. The bus route serves the hospital, Asda, Heron Hill, Sandylands, Morrisons & Aldi, Sainsbury's, then Kendal bus station, before returning along the same route as far as Heron Hill, then via Oxenholme station.  Full timetable HERE.

A summary of the wider bus timetable changes in Cumbria can be found from links at the top of the County Council’s website page for bus services www.cumbria.gov.uk/buses
This information will be updated and refreshed as extra information becomes available.

For holders of concessionary bus passes:
Cumbria County Council have temporarily lifted the Mon-Fri restrictions. The passes can now be used for travel before 9.30am, enabling better access to the priority shopping times many supermarkets have designated for vulnerable and older people.
