I really should have looked into the bus and train schedules more. I could have caught the 9:40 bus from Cockermouth, been in Penrith at 10:50, waited 40 minutes for the station to open, and still caught the train when it passed through at 11:45. I could have slept an extra two hours this morning and saved £7 on bus fares. Oh well, it was nice having that certainty.
