The Westmorland and Furness Council have just (16/7/24) approved funding of £76,000 to be spent on a new daily service running between Greystoke and Penrith, with possible extension to the Settle to Carlisle line at Langwathby.

The council will now go through a procurement exercise to source an operator. We have asked to be included in decisions about the route and timetable so it fits what we need. One thing is clear though, we ‘use it or lose it’, this funding is non recurrent.
