CENTURY: Workington built Leyland National at Whitehaven bus station A new exhibition celebrating 100 years of bus and coach services in the region has opened. The Beacon Museum at Whitehaven has teamed up with Workington Transport Heritage Trust to present “CMS100”, a pop-up exhibition celebrating 100 years of bus and coach services by Cumberland Motor Services and its current owner Stagecoach. The exhibition in The Portal annexe gives a flavour of how the company expanded from the original Whitehaven Motor Services to serve the west and north of the old county of Cumberland. Following the takeover by Stagecoach the operating area has expanded to cover all of Cumbria including the excellent network of Lakes routes, including regular summer open top buses around Keswick and Windermere.
