    By train, an Anytime Return is £55.80.

    Should be able to find an Advance Single from Penrith to Preston for £10 each way.
    Anytime Return from Preston to Harrogate (via Burnley) is £22.40.

    So total each way could be £42.40 or less.

    Sorry don't know about buses/coaches.

    What have you found?

    What times of day do you want to travel?

    If you have a railcard, knock a third off those fares.
  • Just had a quick look and to add to what wealdroam has said, there's the odd advance ticket Penrith to Preston for £7 and Preston to Penrith for £5.50 if the times of travel are OK for you.

    Can't see anything cheaper than a standard return Langwathby to Harrogate via Appleby/Leeds at 20p under £40

    EDIT - well a saving of 70p can be made by getting a return Langwathby to Keighley and then singles each way to Harrogate

    As to bus, well Penrith - Keswick-Lancaster-Preston-Manchester-Leeds-Harrogate ?? Would take all day and I doubt any cheaper
