- An animated past and present look at the lost railway line that once connected Kirkby Stephen to Penrith. It ran between Clifton Junction near Penrith and Kirkby Stephen via Appleby-in-Westmorland.
Passenger traffic ended in 1962 and the line was reduced to the track between the junction at Appleby station with the Settle-Carlisle Line and Kirkby Stephen which served a quarry. By 1976 all that was left was 6 miles (10 km) of track between Appleby in Westmorland and Flitholme. It was used by infrequent British Army services to Warcop Training Area until 1989.
In 1995 the Eden Valley Railway Society was formed with the aim of reinstating services and restoring on the line. Heritage railway services resumed in 2006 between Warcop and Sandford, with an extension of 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km) being opened in 2013, giving a current running line of almost 2+1⁄4 miles (3.6 km).

Another fantastic video. The hours you must spend? I’m so grateful, these videos bring so much entertainment and enjoyment, thank you.
I started this project yesterday! Depends on how long the stretch is I suppose!
Loveley! Small typo on "next station" when it's Warcop!
Clifton was actually Clifton Moor at the time of closure. Lovely idea. Are you going to tackle Kirkby Stephen - Stainmore summit!?
In future I'd like to complete the link to Darlington and extend the video. Problem was the maps near Barnard Castle were earlier than the railways!
Amazing !
Wonderful!
That’s amazing
Amazing!
