Wainwrights by Train and Bus
The 214 Wainwrights are the Lake District fells in Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guides. Only 5 are within 5 miles of a station with regular trains, so a Wainwright day by public transport usually means a train to Windermere and a bus on. Source
The 555 runs from Windermere station to Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick, and the 505 Coniston Rambler goes to Coniston. Between them, 38 Wainwrights are within 3 miles of one of those towns.
