Description
The 72 mile Settle & Carlisle railway, running across the roof of England, was threatened with closure in the 1960s and again in the 1980s. Since then, not only was the line reprieved from closure again after an eight year battle, but train services were expanded.
This book looks at the revival in the fortunes of the Settle & Carlisle and features include:
Saving the line was not the end of the story – it was just the beginning
How the timetabled services have increased in frequency, with many of the previously closed stations reopened and even heavy freight traffic returning in significant quantity
The steam-hauled excursions over the line have gone from strength to strength.
