A Train Drivers Cab view of the Settle and Carlisle Route. Part 2 of 3. Ribblehead to Appleby.

As you said, typical Settle/Carlisle weather but it lends the line an atmosphere that it wouldn't have in bright sunshine, loved it!!

Another good trip. Thanks. Looking forward to the third instalment.

With all the stops,was this train following another train? Also thanks for showing locations of disused stations.

What was the traction? A Class 47?

Great video have downloaded it already to watch away from the internet!

A great film of a wonderful line. Unfortunately you've made a goof on the last word of your opening caption. For "Settle" should be "Appleby." Not easy to change now, I guess.

What happened at Blea Moor?

Seems a miracle that the line was never singled.

Strange to see active semaphore signals still in use

If Don Coffey is unable to record sounds from the driver's cab, he often records "live sounds" from the rear cab so at least we can hear the train's "running trackside sounds". Something to consider?

I like how blea more has one poor semaphore left. Also whats the siding at ribblehead for?

Fantastic! Thrilled to see you've uploaded parts 2 & 3. Today I "cycled" (on my indoor exercise bike) all the way from Ribblehead to Carlisle!
I can't count the number of times we've been walking around the Ribblehead / Dent area, and we've traveled on that line a few times, twice hauled by steam. Great to see it from the perspective of the cab, though, especially Blea Moor tunnel. Question: when was this filmed? Winter, obviously, but everywhere looks deserted. Also, why the non-stop run? Just intrigued! Thanks again.

Great visuals ... what happened to the sound???

I am wondering if my 12 year old daughter could have permission to use a portion of this footage in a movie she is making. Thanks!

Makes very interesting viewing when looked at with reference to LTC Rolt's book - Red for Danger' - and the account of the Ais Gill accident in 1913, albeit travelling in the opposite direction. Still a bleak and windswept line!

Anybody know why Ribblehead Viaduct was single tracked?

loved this so atmospheric please what is the "rail" inside the usual rails before birkett tunnel?

Is there something wrong with the sound?

👍. Another beaut video. Ditto my comments on Part 1. 🐨🇦🇺

Just watched all three parts and enjoyed every second of it. Your video brings back sweet memories as my wife and I rode from Settle to Carlisle and back just to enjoy the beautiful train ride. We spent our holidays in the area for many, many years and love the area so much. Your filming reflects this beautifully.

3.20 BLEA MOOR SIGNAL BOX I REMEMBER A CLASS 47 BEING PARKED IN THE LEFT-HAND LINE AS WE LOOK AT THEM

I walked the Settle to Carlisle Way back in 2018. Climbing over Blea Moor following the route of the tunnel below. Stopping at one of the air vents having a coffee, hearing a train passing below. Then climbing up to Dent station to Garsdale head to the Moorcock lnn. That day was wet and cold, but the rest of the walk was in sunshine.
