Since 1980, we’ve ran express and local bus services across the country and we continue to play an important role in helping people access work, education, healthcare, shopping and leisure. Our head office is in Carlisle, but we have a presence right across Cumbria and North Lancashire. We employ 810 staff and operate 289 buses from depots in Carlisle, Barrow, Workington, Kendal and Morecambe. These buses travel 12.4 million miles and carry 19.5 million passengers each year. We’re proud to be Cumbria’s local bus company and we’re equally proud to be part of the Stagecoach Group. Based in Perth in Scotland, Stagecoach grew rapidly after bus services were privatised in the 1980s and now operates buses all over the country and the megabus.com inter-city coach network. Stagecoach has a strategy to be net zero UK by 2035. Almost 15% of our UK wide fleet is now already electric with plans to expand. In Cumbria we have invested £4 million since 2023 in new ultra-low emission diesel buses for use in Barrow, West Cumbria and the Central Lakes. We aspire to deliver a more modern and sustainable public transport network for passengers, contributing to cleaner, quieter neighbourhoods through enhanced air quality and a reduction in noise pollution.
