Description

Carnforth to Barrow-in-Furness / Bootle to Maryport explores the Cumbrian Coast via two different trains. We start aboard a North West Regional Railways Class 156 Sprinter, traveling the former Furness Railway through Grange-over-Sands and Ulverston to Barrow-in-Furness.

From Barrow, we switch to a Class 153 for the scenic leg from Bootle to Maryport. Filmed in exceptionally clear weather—reportedly a once-a-year occurrence—this segment showcases stunning coastal views from both the train and a helicopter.

As noted by writer and signalling expert David Allen, this line is a haven for semaphore signalling enthusiasts.
