The Northumberland line re-opened last weekend after 60 years without a rail service. There is hope.

Idiocy that given the popularity of the Lakes, there is no railway line.

I used to cross this ferry with a lorry taking supplies all over the north and west in the seventies ,it was a strange feeling the first time as a six wheeler made the boat go down a good bit ,the smaller if the two especially

Truly the act of short sighted vandalism prevalent all over the UK then and now. Imagine the traffic taken off the clogged roads had it stayed open if only to Keswick!

They should bring it back! The entire line. Things have gone backwards and downhill. There are clowns driving around in cars wasting all that fuel for no reason except driving around.

What a beautiful film. (I was there on that very last day of operation in 1972).

When did the fairlie ferry service end. I was just wondering.

Makes you want to weep. Politicians with zero vision apart from the balance sheet. You couldn't even begin to guess the huge number of passengers this line would carry today.

Excellent........the first ship at the beginning of your clip is the Queen Mary II, a Clyde ferry. It was originally named just Queen Mary, but in 1934 Cunard requested this name for their new super liner, thus this Clyde work horse was renamed, and did not get it's proper name back until the Liner was taken out of service in the late 60's and preserved in the U.S.

Your probably aware, but if not, the Queen Mary is once again docked on the Clyde at Govan undergoing restoration. 👍🏻

I wish they never removed the line, it won’t be coming back now, they’re selling land on the old railway

I always felt that Bute was ideally suited to this run rather than wasting Clansman on a (Mickey Mouse) run, she should have been assigned to Islay right from the start.

Loch Arkaig was always one of my favourites. You could get up close with all aspects of her operations and many's the time I 've sailed on her from Mallaig via Kyle and Raasay to Portree.

WOW, Brilliant .Brilliant Film.I recently took the Bus (28th December 2022) from Penrith to Cockermouth. I would have given anything to have travelled on this Train 50 Years ago.Fantastic History and wonderful stories. Serious,tragic mistake to close this Line🤐Can You imagine running this a Heritage line these Day's? It would Definately be the most visited in the Country with the Tourism in the Lakes.Come on Cumbria" DO IT" And now I will show You what We have lost!!!!!!!! (Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol) What fasinating people.Wish I could have met them!!!!!!!!!

It was another stupid decision made by a government that was enamoured with the car, Thatcher personified the attitude that the railways were outdated from the 50’s that pervaded political thinking at the time. This railway would be a goldmine today and massively reduce the huge traffic problems caused by 18 million tourists per year. The other advantage would be the reduction in pollution, throughout the country cars are a major consumer of energy and the biggest producers of pollution, if we’d continued to invest in trains at half the rate of motorways or even worse at 30% of the cost of privatisation we’d have the best transport system in the world.

We travelled this route often in the 1950’s going to visit relatives in Threlkeld, it was a great journey. We travelled from Whitehaven to Threlkeld, always on time. The people in the surrounding areas were so dependent on the railway, it was a truly wonderful experience.

Considering the gridlock in Keswick and the roads full of traffic all year round in the Lake District....it makes sense to reopen this line ...it would reduce air pollution be the Green way to travel ..and would easily pay for itself..

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. We walked the K2T trail today over this line and there is just so much history over one of the most beautiful sections of any line in the UK. Finding this just bought it all to life. Thank you for sharing.
