    The times we have passed by this railway on the A66 Scotch Corner to Penrith but never called in.Sometimes it was closed but mostly due to the drive up to Scotland.
    Where else can you ride preserved Slam door Thumpers?
    Many thanks to the members present for your warm welcome,we wish you all the very best wishes for the railway.

    How nice to see these smaller lines getting some attention. That looks a very pleasant ride, and some interesting rolling stock. It seems to offer asylum for Southern rolling stock.
    A Class 47 as well, too.

      Hi Andrei.These Thumpers are really rare bits of kit in preservation,the engine sound is amazing (you can just hear it on the return trip} I think the only others I have seen were at the Lavender line in East Sussex and Coventry Electric museum (now closed).This line needs as more people visiting such a lovely area.The track bed and track is still in place for further extension if they had the money to move on....Regards Chris

    Fascinating Chris, a strange place to see so much Southern Region stock, and to ride a 'Thumper' in Blood & Custard livery was a special treat...Best wishes....Bob

      The only other line I have seen one running is the Lavender line in East Sussex,but that was a long time ago...I' so pleased I have made the visit as we have passed it so many times.......Regards Chris

      Let's hope this video gives them some much needed publicity and they get a few more people visiting this line....Regards Chris

    Like you Chris we stopped off for a look a couple of years ago on our way home from a stay at Culgaith on the S&C.... but it was very quiet. It was nice to take this ride with you to see what we missed. Lovely countryside, shame about the plastic fields though. Cheers, Brian.

      It really is a big railway Dave,they just don't have the money or man power to move on along the line.The track is still in place.The location of the station is a bit out of the way as well although you can see it from the A66,but like me most people don't stop due to traveling long distances....Regards Chris

    Will the line ever be extended beyond its current limits?

    • @wooltman
      @wooltman  4 года назад

      I would say not Louis,the line is still connected to the mainline at the far end of the line,which they don't go up to.
