The Lakeside line opened in 1869 so it would be perfectly feasible to take a lake steamer from Windermere pier or local boat from the Hawkshead Ferry Stage down the lake and get on a train at Lakeside Station.
However a change would be required at Ulverston as the junction faced the wrong way.

The more logical route would be as stated from Windermere to Oxenholme and direct service to London.
