(14 Feb 2016, 8:25 pm)Michael I missed that. 

Do you know what happened to the coaches?

(14 Feb 2016, 8:49 pm)Andreos1 I have no idea about the coaches at all.

Re the changes - are they all summer changes or are some connected with the road closures?
I saw long term closures and diversions in Kendal and Staveley recently and I know the road between Grasmere and Keswick has been closed (a temporary road has been constructed in a field). That is just for the 555!

(10 Mar 2016, 4:53 pm)Tom Similar to last year really

Good to see more journeys on the 508 (and open top!) though. Will have to go this year especially on the Keswick services.

(10 Mar 2016, 4:59 pm)Michael Ye, the open bus routes are decent in the lakes..ill be going this year with my friends.


Welcome back

(10 Mar 2016, 5:13 pm)Jimmi I'm going to a crack at the Lakes this year, I was thinking of doing of doing one day from Carlisle and one day from Blackpool whilst I'm on holiday there on the 42 but annoyingly the evening supported runs operated by Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire are getting binned in a few weeks time, so the last bus back from Lancaster to Blackpool will be around 6pm. Photographed Solo YK05CCJ on an evening working when I was in Blackpool on Saturday night: https://flic.kr/p/EWDAhR

(10 Mar 2016, 5:29 pm)Tom Central Lakes is hard to do in a day I think unless you leave very early which will obviously be hard enough for you.

Keswick & Honister is pretty ok though. 77 is well worth a round trip I reckon.

(10 Mar 2016, 5:32 pm)Jimmi Hmm... Probably, I will have to have a look at times and such to see how/if feasible it would do in a day or not.

(10 Mar 2016, 5:34 pm)Tom Yeah I'm sure it would be fine though as I think the last ones run onto the 73 to Carlisle.

(23 Mar 2016, 7:43 pm)Davie Are North East Explorers valid on the 685 between Newcastle and Carlisle?

(23 Mar 2016, 7:48 pm)South Tyne Lad Yes on both operators too.
