Shuttle buses to run in Buttermere and Wasdale
This summer, a pair of shuttle bus services will operate in Lake District tourist attractions.
The buses will run through Buttermere and Wasdale and will cost £2 for an adult fare.
The Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) and its partners organised the initiative.
The buses have been ‘very popular over the last number of years,’ according to Emma Moody, LDNPA senior strategy adviser for recreation and sustainable transport.
“Both the Buttermere and Wasdale valleys can get very busy with traffic during peak times, so this is an ideal solution to ensure that people can really make the most out of their day,” she added.
“The shuttle buses are a chance to sit back, relax, and connect with your stunning surroundings,” said Cllr Anne Quilter, cabinet member for vibrant and healthy places at Cumberland Council.
“Developing sustainable travel habits should not be demanding on our visitors or residents.”
Each bus will operate on Saturdays, Sundays, and bank holidays.
The Buttermere service, which will operate between Cockermouth and Buttermere via Low Lorton, will start tomorrow. The bus will be available till the 28th of August.
The Wasdale service will operate between the Nether Wasdale parking park and Wasdale Head, travelling from Ravenglass to Wasdale via Gosforth. At the end of the day, it will return to Ravenglass. The bus will be available throughout the months of June, July, and August.
