Another example of the importance of the railways along the

Cumbrian Coast route was observed at Bootle with a number of school children leaving the 2C30 14.41 Carlise to Lancaster train following its arrival The train is crossing the level crossing controlled by the 1874 Furness signal box. Apart from signage and various railings, this scene has changed little from 1985 visit. I will upload a scan of the image captured then when I eventually get around to it!
