An updated third edition of this book examining the renaissance of the Settle & Carlisle railway.
The line survived two attempts to close it, but today carries freight traffic as well as being popular with excursion trains and sustaining a regular passenger service.
This book provides a brief history of the line, before going on to examine timetabled passenger services on the line and freight traffic. Further chapters look at steam excursion trains, which are a regular sight on the line, before going on to examine the route of the line. The chapters covering the route include a short description of the section of line as well as a number of recent colour photographs of trains using that section of line.
Settle & Carlisle Revival: The Line that Refused to Die provides an interesting look at the Settle to Carlisle line today. Well-illustrated in full colour throughout. Hardback. 160 pages.
