Hi all
I'm a volunteer on the Settle Carlisle line so I thought I'd create this thread to post all various images from the line on here for people to see who either would love to travel the line but cant for whatever reasons, or for the people who like to see 'behind the scenes' if you like - what goes on behind closed doors.
This thread will feature various types of images - some with trains in, some of the scenery and some of the staff and volunteers hard at work. Anyway, to kick things off, here is a selection of photos taken from the last two and a bit years...
Mallerstang Edge in Summer 2015. This is located between Garsdale and Kirkby Stephen.
156484 at Skipton. There was severe disruption on services into Leeds due to flooding at Kirkstall. As a result 2 156s worked down from Carlisle on the first train. It also brought a number of spare crew with it to work other services as Leeds crews didn't sign 156s and were stuck on the wrong side of the floods.
The shadow of Ribblehead viaduct taken early 2016. Due to the low sun during the winter months you get this spectacular silhouette on Batty Moss below.
The scene around Helwith Bridge, near Horton-In-Ribblesdale. The river runs parallel with the railway for a short time, before crossing underneath us by the pub 'Helwith Bridge Inn'. Pen-y-Ghent can be seen in the distance
Further up the line near a small hamlet called Selside, just south of Ribblehead, the railway begins to reach the moors. Dotted all over these moors are limestone pavements, as seen in this image. Pen-Y-Ghent is in the background and the river Ribble is running through the middle of the image.
158843 is seen departing Settle for Carlisle. All of the stations are looked after by volunteers such as the flowers and woodwork like benches. I and a couple of others look after Settle station.
A snowy Ingleborough seen on a beautiful winters day. This is the standard view from Ribblehead station.
Thats all for now, but I'll continue to upload more images as I sort through them.
