- An animated past vs present look at the lost railway line from Keswick to Cockermouth in the Lake District! #lakedistrict #keswick #cumbria #cockermouth #railway
As a result of the Beeching cuts, the line beyond Keswick to Cockermouth and Workington was closed on 18 April 1966, leaving a single line branch between Keswick and Penrith. The station survived for six years before closing on 6 March 1972. The main station building has been used as a hotel in recent years but most of the other structures have been demolished and the land used for car parking. A trail managed by the Lake District National Park Authority has been established along part of the former railway line.

Adding insult to injury: building a road on the old trackbed. A clever piece of film!
What an awful waste. There are many people like me who take rail journeys simply for the enjoyment of the ride, watching the countryside drift by is often preferable to arrival at the destination. Imagine this line today, its is very scenic and tourism being what it is would be well used I think, such a terrible shame.
Another brilliant video thank you for sharing.
Many, many thanks, James. 😊
Great video as always - lovely to see the past & present merged together 👍🙂
You put a lot of work in to this. Thank you.
