The new services reflect what communities across Cumberland have told the council they want: reliable, accessible, and sustainable transport options that connect people to essential services and opportunities.
Cllr Denise Rollo, Executive Member for Sustainable, Resilient and Connected Places, said:
“Phase 2 of Cumberland Go funded buses marks another important step in our commitment to revitalising transport links across our city, towns and villages. These new routes will make it easier for people to travel affordably and sustainably for work, education, and leisure, reconnecting communities and improving access to essential services.
“I’m particularly pleased that the routes in this phase support sustainable links to Cumberland’s tourism attractions including Muncaster Castle, Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway and connecting coastal communities.
“The success of these services depends on two things: strong operator engagement to keep routes reliable and continued public support to ensure they thrive.
“I want to thank our residents for sharing what matters most to them, our operators for stepping up to deliver these vital connections, and the dedicated team behind the scenes who have worked hard to make this happen. Cumberland Go is about connecting communities, one journey at a time - and we encourage everyone to make use of these services so they can continue to grow.”
