Train and Bus Information

For accommodation in Coniston, train travel should be to either Windermere (especially if coming from the North) or Ulverston. The train from London and up the West Coast is now very quick taking as little as 3 hours from Euston.

Oxenholme is the mainline station that serves Windermere.
Bus 505 can be taken from Windermere to Ambleside and Coniston
Bus X12 can be taken from Ulverston to Coniston
However bus services in the Lake District do not run much in the evening.

Taxis are available from both stations, they generally are waiting outside Windermere and sometimes from Ulverston but you can book with Geoffs Taxis 01229 586666, McKenna’s Taxis 01229 582180

For some holidays we will arrange pick-ups/drop-offs at train stations and will try and help out with this if we can. If this is something you would like to take advantage of, then drop-offs at Ulverston station are much easier.
