The Western Mountaineer

Experience the Famous Shap Fells Incline and Settle & Carlisle line by train this Summer!

This Summer we return to the challenging gradient of Shap and the stunning Settle and Carlisle line, this time with diesel hydraulic locomotive, D1015 ‘Western Champion’, leading the train.

At Carlisle, a 2000 year old city with plenty of history to discover, passengers will have time to explore whether that is the Cathedral, Castle or any of the museums and galleries that the city has to offer.

This train will also feature an Enthusiast carriage in Tourist, offering passengers to travel in the first passenger carriage behind the locomotive.
