Arriving at Lakeside |
Lakeside is simple, but right next to the boat terminus.
Newby Bridge Halt is much of anything.
Haverthwaite is their main centre of operations. It's also got an interesting tunnel right at the end of the platform.
Nothing special, but connecting to the boat at the end of Windermere makes up for it.
Some good sized engines, including one called David ! They also have "No. 20" which is Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam locomotive.
Only modern-ish carriages seen.
At Haverthwaite. Nice little selection crammed into a shed. Also a few interesting lorries outside.
None found
At Haverthwaite. Cramped but interesting
Had a nice drink of the platform at Haverthwaite waiting for the return train. Also picnic benches on the other side of the line.
Not tested.
Excellent ! It's cheap, got 32 pages full of colour pictures, a history of the line, a description of the line and a stock list. What more could you want ?
At Lakeside there's an Aquarium, but we didn't go in. And, of course, there's the opportunity for a trip up Windermere on a boat.
