Taken from Parton station 156421 is seen hugging the base

of the cliff as it passes Providence Bay working the 2C51 10.41 Lancaster to Carlisle service. There are a number of dramatic coastal routes on the UK rail network but the Cumbrian coast is often forgotten with the famous South Devon route being the one that most people immediately think of. The difference is that the wild ruggedness of the Cumbrian route makes it stand out and, in fact, I prefer it!
