Stagecoach has announced a series of timetable changes designed to improve punctuality and reliability across Cumbria this autumn.

The changes which take effect from Monday, September 2, will improve the bus network’s resilience, particularly at times when the road network is congested.

Tom Waterhouse, Managing Director of Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire, said: “We are working hard to ensure that our passengers can depend on our services to get them where they need to go. 

“These changes are necessary to reduce the chance of delays and disruption, especially at peak times.”

Passengers using the 93/93A, Carlisle to Anthorn service have a significantly revised timetable with all journeys operating as service 93 via Drumburgh and Burgh by Sands.

From Monday to Friday, the journey that sets off at 8.35pm on the 104 from Carlisle to Garlands will no longer operate.

On Sundays and public holidays, all journeys on this Carlisle to Penrith/Centre Parcs route will use the A6 near Eden Park to improve punctuality.
