Kendal Junction
Britannia 70016 'Ariel' setting off from Oxenholme for Carlisle on 1st July 1967, with a full head of steam for the gradients ahead. The train was not heavy, however, as it was the 11.55 Saturdays only Euston – Carlisle, from which the portion for Windermere had just been detached. Alongside the train is the direct link from the Windermere branch onto the mainline at Kendal Junction. This has since been removed and the station platform extended into this space. Trains now access the branch via the line on the left of this picture.
