Scrapped Cumbrian rural bus service reinstated

A bus service in Cumbria which was scrapped due to council cuts has been reinstated.

In November 2014, the 106 service between Penrith and Kendal was axed by Cumbria County Council.

The move was part of a bid to save £1.9m from the budget every year for the next three years.

Now a parish council and other groups have raised enough money to bring back the vital service.
