The Cumbrian Coast

One of the least wellknown areas of Britain we travel to the Cumbrian Coast by means of two different trains Firstly we board a North West Regional Railways Express class 156 which traverses the former Furness Railway via GrangeoverSands and Ulvertston to BarrowinFurness There we change to a class 153 for the most scenic section of the route along the coast from Bootle to Maryport filmed in what can only be described as 100 perfect weather not a cloud in the sky Apparently you only get one day a year like that along the coast and we were there As signalling expert David Allen says in his script this line is a mecca for semaphore signalling enthusiasts Filmed in 1997
