07:29- 7 to Durham
08:41- X12 to Newcastle
09:45- 85/685 to Carlisle
Then return
15:07- 685/85 to Newcastle
17:40- X9 to Middlesbrough
19:12- X66 to Darlington
Could I get to Workington and back in 3 hours? If so how much would it be as I don't think I can get a north west explore in Darlington
Sounds spot on that. You won't be able to get a NW Explorer unless you're on a Stagecoach 685 (which the 0945 is). Cheapest to do a North West Explorer (£10.80) for a return to Workington.
You *just* (by 5 minutes) miss the return bus at Workington so you can cosily do it in 4 hours (getting back 1557 for the 1607 685), that or bailing at Flimby (or even Scaryport Maryport) will see you back for 1457.
Could even do a return to Dumfries on the 79 if you're brave!
