Więcej o książce
The Settle–Carlisle line (also known as the Settle and Carlisle (S&C)) is a 73-mile-long (117 km) main railway line in northern England.For over one hundred and fifty years, since the line was first envisaged by the Midland Railway (MR) in the 1860s, the Settle-Carlisle route has captured the imagination of the traveling public, railway buffs and those with a quest for romance and adventure. Although conceived primarily as a high-speed route for Anglo-Scottish traffic, the Settle and Carlisle line was able to serve many of the local communities along the way by means of local stopping trains for passengers and the haulage of goods and parcel traffic.At various times the line has generated a considerable income by serving local quarries and other industries but in the 21st century the only material now exported is the timber being felled from various local forestry enterprises.
