Steam Hauled by LMS Jubilee Class 5690 “Leander”

Following our summer programme we are pleased to confirm that ‘The Fellsman’ will return for one last train of 2010 with a journey over Britain’s most spectacular railway - the legendary ‘Settle to Carlisle’ line – with it’s great limestone peaks and deep valleys we travel over the roof of England including the great 24 arched viaduct at Ribblehead on this masterpiece of Victorian engineering, there is a chance of snow on the high peaks and time for sightseeing will be available in Carlisle with the border city bedecked in all its Christmas splendour. Our train will return over a different and taxing route as “Leander” climbs over the Cumbrian peaks and Shap Summit.

The Settle & Carlisle line is known for its magnificent scenery and steep gradient so our engine will be working hard as we climb to the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct with stunning views of the three peaks before entering Blea Moor tunnel. Passengers will get a marvellous view as the train emerges into Dent Dale, and as we approach Garsdale you will see sweeping views of Wensleydale with our engine in full flight as we climb at 1 in 100 towards the summit of the line at Ais Gill. Travelling on through the beautiful Eden Valley with a stop for water at Appleby we then continue to the border city of Carlisle where we have a stop of around three hours. You may choose to stroll between the castle and cathedral with the Christmas decorations and twinkling lights on full display, or perhaps visit the famous Tullie House Museum – all surrounded by great places to shop, eat or be entertained.

Our train will be ready for the return from Carlisle mid afternoon and we travel over spectacular Shap summit as “Leander” works hard to haul our heavy train up the severe gradient through Penrith, then dropping down to Tebay and onward to Carnforth where a slightly more modern diesel will take over for the remainder of the homeward journey. Passengers in the dining carriages will enjoy a festive four course dinner with all the trimmings – the perfect way to start the Christmas season.
