A Settle Carlisle Day Ranger is now available. This reduces the cost of travel for many journeys on the Leeds / Bradford Forster Square-Settle-Appleby-Carlisle line.
The offer has been introduced to encourage people to travel on the world-famous railway, which remains open while essential repairs are carried out at the northern end of the line between Appleby and Carlisle.
The ticket will allow travel from any station between Leeds / Bradford Forster Square to Appleby (via Settle) and onwards to Carlisle using the connecting replacement bus service from Appleby. (and v/v) It is valid for one day and has no time restrictions. It will allow passengers to get on and off the train as they wish, travelling in any direction. Priced at £15.00 for adults and £7.50 for children, this represents great value. Railcard holders (including the local Dales Railcard) will be eligible for a further ⅓ discount.
The essential engineering work is taking place at Eden Brows, near Armathwaite in Cumbria’s Eden Valley. During the severe winter storms, a massive landslip occurred which caused damage to the track. The remote location, the size of the landslide and the difficult terrain mean that this is a major project which will take several months to be completed by Network Rail.
The offer will be a fantastic opportunity for people from West Yorkshire to explore the Yorkshire Dales and beyond at a great price.
