After the Keswick line closed in 1972 some small sections were used as cycle trails and footpaths but the small tunnel between Keswick and Briery was sealed up 39079. More recently, various sections between Keswick and Threlkeld have been linked to create a single surfaced route and the old tunnel was excavated to allow easy cycling and walking where the trail passes under the A66. This is the west portal on 1st December 2021.
