As of 31st
October 2011, the governments funding of a concessionary travel
scheme on National Express coaches has ended. For those who previously
benefitted from this scheme, there is now a new Coachcard scheme in operation
by National Express. The new Coachcards, which can be purchased by those
over 60 or registered disabled, cost just £10 for a year and entitle
the named passenger to 1/3 off the ticket price all year round.

Info
& Suggestions
Eskdale is ideal
walking and mountain biking territory, something that the famous
Laal Ratty miniature railway has supported. Not only can you now
hire mountain bikes at the Dalegarth terminus of the railway, but
you can let the 'train take the strain' and plan a route that takes
you freewheeling down towards the coast while hopping the train
for the return journey back up to the Eskdale valley. Find out more
