Although, to cut off a lot of journey time; get the 7 to Durham, the train (Virgin East Coast, First TransPennine, CrossCountry, whichever you like) up to Newcastle, a Northern Rail service to Carlisle, then a Northern Rail service down to Workington. I think that would cut off the journey time significantly, if you took the train as opposed to the bus.

I selected all options including trains and the earliest I could get there is 3pm.

The only way I could realistically go is if I was to stay over on the Saturday night in the Workington area or possibly Newcastle.
