Ingleton (NWR)
Scene of a very expensive argument. The bridge at Ingleton should have provided a through link from Yorkshire to Scotland. However, because it formed an end on junction between the Midland Railway and the LNWR, who were in dispute in the 1860's, that never transpired and the animosity between the two companies meant that through passengers arriving at one station would have to make their own way through the gorge to the station on the other side. In due course the Midland constructed the Settle and Carlisle Railway to avoid reliance on the LNWR instead. This view looks north from the site of the North Western station, now covered by a community centre and its car park although the viaduct, which last carried trains in 1966, is still in excellent condition.
