Settle-Carlisle Railway
About
he Settle to Carlisle railway is one of the world's greatest rail journeys. It carves its way through the magnificent landscape of the Yorkshire Dales and then descends to Cumbria's lush green Eden Valley with its views of the Pennines and Lakeland Fells. A seven day a week service of diesel sprinter units, operated by Northern, provides locals and visitors to the region plenty of choice of when to travel, and the opportunity to board and leave the train at many of the beautifully preserved stations along the route. Customers can also expect a refreshment trolley service on select train services running between Settle and Carlisle/Carlisle and Settle. This profile is managed by the Settle-Carlisle Railway Development Company (SCRDC). SCRDC is an accredited Community Rail Partnership, by the Department for Transport.
