Here's a link to the programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b084ths2
The bit about the 563 starts about 8:50 into the programme apparently.
Think there is also doubts over some of the DalesBus routes returning in the summer next year, think the 830 which Arriva North East (and Travellers Choice) run and was also the route that featured on BBC Four's All Aboard! The Country Bus programme earlier in the year is one of the routes at risk of facing the axe.
That's the one.
Appologies for saying it was Appleby. Close enough though - still a canny hike from Penrith either way.
