Locally, Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancs is introducing new timetables from Monday, 1st June which restore pre-emergency timetables on most routes, albeit with substantial changes to some services.
Govrnment advice is still that travel by bus should be restricted to those making essential journeys, but you can check here to see how your service is affected. "Normal" means the service operating prior to 23rd March 2020 and all comparisons are with service levels before that date.
