Background
History
The original Eden Valley Railway opened in 1862, linking 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 mi of track between Appleby in Westmorland and Flitholme. It was used by infrequent British Army services to Warcop Training Area until 1989. Heritage railway services resumed in 2006 between Warcop and Sandford, with an extension of 1/2 mi to Southfields being opened in 2013, giving a current running line of almost 2+1/4 mi.
