Stagecoach has announced details of amended timetables over the Christmas and New Year period, between 23rd December 2024 and 5th January 2025.
Services will be broadly similar to those in recent years. During this period, services will run to a SATURDAY timetable with the following exceptions:
Despite them being two of the busiest nights of the year for celebrations and “going out for the evening”, most Stagecoach buses will be tucked up in the garage by 19.00hrs on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve (neither of which are public holidays). For some services this means a particularly early shut down, with the last bus on the 51 from Carnforth to Silverdale being at 15.45, returning from Silverdale at 17.08.
The 555 Lancaster-Kendal-Keswick also closes down earlier than last year, with the last bus from Keswick to Lancaster being as early as 14.30 and from Kendal at 16.15. The last northbound buses on this service will be at 14.05 to Keswick and 17.50 to Kendal.
No buses will run on Christmas Day, whilst on Boxing Day a limited daytime-only timetable will be in operation on services 1A 2X 5 6A 41 55 and 100 only.
There will be no buses on New Year’s Day, and a Saturday timetable will be in force on all services on Thursday 2nd, Friday,3rd and Saturday 4th January
Normal service resumes on Sunday 5th January.
