Keswick

  • Description

    "View westward, towards Cockermouth and Workington, ex-LNWR Cockermouth, Keswick & Penrith section. This was one of the earliest lines to change to DMUs; here a Derby 'Lightweight' unit is working a Workington - Penrith service. Their introduction boosted traffic considerably, but nevertheless the line was closed west of Keswick from 4/66 and to Penrith from 6/3/72 - in spite of its being the main rail route into the heart of the Lake District."
