Kendal-Windermere railway story, new book release [South Cumbria Mail]





Date: 28/12/2022

Complaints of late Lakeland trains, missed connections, under-investment, and poor financial returns were just as common in the 1840s as in this festive season of increased strike action on the railways.

195131 has recently arrived at Windermere from Oxenholme in the early afternoon of 29 May 2021. All passengers were having their tickets checked before leaving the station, however I quickly took some photos and rejoined the train (heading to Manchester Airport) to return to Preston. In the last 15 years I have now seen Class 175s, 185s and now a 195 at this Lake District station. What a pity that it hasn't included a Class 331 EMU as the planned electrification from Oxenholme was shelved.
