The UB1 bus

Towards The Hause, some journeys through to Martindale one way and Aira Force, some journeys through to Troutbeck the other: 43 stops, run by Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire. Every stop has its own page with the times from it. Last bus home is shown only where we have checked it; some stops have times only.

The UB1 is seasonal. It runs Saturdays and Sundays from 5 September 2026 to 1 November 2026; and on 15 listed dates, 7 September 2026 to 25 September 2026. Outside those dates it does not run.

From the operator: Stagecoach’s service updates for Kendal and the Lakes (diversions and cancellations).

Where the UB1 buses are now

Buses reporting a position now, each drawn at the stop it is nearest to. The line is the order of the stops, not the distance between them, so this shows how far along a bus is and not where it is on the road. 12 of 15 journeys in the timetable follow this line. A bus running a different variation of this route is on the map below but not on this line, because it is not calling at these stops. Nothing here predicts an arrival.

    Positions are the operator's own reports to the national feed, read once a minute; each shows how old it is and leaves the map after ten minutes. A position is not a promise of arrival. How often it has run lately was not measured for this build; the map above shows what is reporting now.

    When it runs

    First and last departure from the stop named at the start of each direction, by day type. The stop pages carry every time.
