I picked this up from BBC news and it is flagged up the Friends of Settle Carlisle Facebook as coming soon.
Lonely Planet named it as one of the top 10 most scenic train trips in Europe and elsewhere it has been known as the "Line that refused to die". The Government had plans to close the line but it was reprieved after a long, successful campaign against closure. Michael Portillo frequently stated that saving the Settle-Carlisle railway line from closure when he was Minister of Transport in 1989 was his "greatest achievement" or "proudest moment" in politics.
