(07 Jul 2016, 4:52 pm)Tom wrote I'll probably go sometime too in the holidays when I get a chance there are some great services depending on whether you get enough time. The 508 is a great route, along with the 77 could maybe get the 555 from Lancaster to Windermere, 508 from Windermere to Penrith, X4 to Keswick then the 77 via Honister then if you can try the 77 too. Could then get the 555 back to Lancaster or split it by getting the 555 to grasmere then the 599.

Sadly the timings aren't great. This is what I've come up with.
0930 42 Blackpool - Lancaster Bus Station (1105)
1125 555 Kendal Bus Station (Arr. 1205)
1240 555 Windermere Rail Station (Arr. 1309)
1331 599 Grasmere Centre (Arr. 1430)
1445 555 Keswick Bus Station (Arr. 1514)
1520 78 Seatoller (Arr. 1548)
1620 78 Keswick Bus Station (Arr. 1648)
1700 555 Lancaster Bus Station (Arr. 1916)
1947 VTEC Preston Rail Station (Arr. 2005)
2017 NORTHERN Blackpool North (Arr. 2046)

I will be making another trip in the next few weeks travelling on buses and trains from the NE.

Do they still have any open top Volvo Olympian's and which service are they usually allocated to?
