For travel timetables, news from the region, Dales Railcards, Group Travel enquiries, shopping and much more visit www.settle-carlisle.co.uk The Settle-Carlisle Railway Development Company (SCRDC) was set up in 1992 as a not-for-profit limited company in response to the call from the Transport Secretary for all political parties to work together following the highly documented reprieve of the Sett

le-Carlisle rail line in 1989. In 2020, we were successfully accredited as the Settle-Carlisle Railway Community Rail Partnership (CRP). The accreditation, certified by the Department for Transport (DfT), is awarded in recognition of the community centred projects and services we provide across the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria. We work in partnership with the rail industry, local businesses, community groups and organisations to encourage socio-economic engagement along the world-renowned Leeds-Settle-Carlisle railway. As station adopter of both Settle and Appleby stations, we also work closely with a group of dedicated volunteers to maintain the upkeep of the station’s gardens. We provide a range of services and products that benefit locals and visitors to the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria. We are contracted by Northern, the train operating company (TOC), to provide promotion and marketing of the rail lines timetabled services (including the Leeds-Lancaster/Morecambe railway), management of the Dales Railcard for local residents, organisation of group travel, provision of station staff at Settle and Appleby and operation of the on-board refreshment trolley service. Our catering portfolio includes running the station café at Skipton (Café Express) and the Ribblehead Visitor Centre & Coffee shop. In recent years, we have operated special heritage charter trains to provide local residents the opportunity of a day out in York (The Christmas Comet, 2017) and Chester (30th Anniversary Express, 2019). In 2020, we provided on-train catering and marketing services for the ground-breaking ‘Staycation Express’; a timetabled, tourist-centred, first-class Charter Train affording the opportunity to travel in style along one of the UK’s most historic and scenic rail journeys.

Happy Yorkshire Day 🤍

And there's no better way to see the famous Yorkshire Dales than from the window of a train. The Settle-Carlisle line runs right through the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, taking in the county's rolling hills, dry-stone walls and market towns along the way.

Thank you so much for your support of the Settle Carlisle line.

🚆 The Settle-Carlisle Railway nearly disappeared. Today, almost a million journeys are made on it every year.

As the line celebrates its 150th anniversary, I have written for Parliament Politics Magazine about what its story teaches us. Sometimes the true value of infrastructure cannot be measured on a balance sheet.

It is a lesson that remains just as relevant today.
