buses on a Sunday

Hi,

I would very much like to get to Ravenstonedale on a Sunday or even go there on a Saturday by bus and retrurn on a Sunday but there are no buses on a Sunday. Please can we have a Sunday service on the 564?

many thanks

John Whitelegg

This seems like a fair request to me! Shops are open 7 days a week these days, so why not bus services?

Hi again John,

I think this is the sort of campaign that could get a lot of support from the local community. Have you thought about sharing the URL around with leaflets or posters?

We're able to generate these very basic ones: http://fix.argh.tc/poster.php?campaign=http://www.fixmytransport.com/campaigns/provide-a-sunday-service-on-the-kendal-kirkby-step

(Sorry, I don't know why it has picked up your "hi" - but you could print that out, cover up the word and photocopy it to quite good effect).

Another route might be to post on any local Facebook page or blog.

The more people that sign up to this page, the stronger case you'll have for the Sunday service. Good luck!


Dear Mr Whitelegg,

Thank you for your email concerning the 564 service.

We operate the service on behalf of Cumbria County Council on a
subsidised basis.

I will pass on your request to Cumbria County Council.

Kind regards

Matthew
