The remains of the station building at Bassenthwaite Lake on the former Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway.

The station opened in 1865 and was closed by British Railways in 1966 along with the entire line west from Keswick. It has since been totally renovated and reopened as a Café and Special Events Venue. In 2019 a replica French-style steam locomotive with Wagons-Lits carriages used in the 2017 film of Murder on the Orient Express were installed on the site as part of a tourist development.

HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

The roofless remains of the station building at Bassenthwaite Lake on the former Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway. This is the platform side view, the LMR red paint on the open doors a reminder of its former ownership by the LMS.

An all apple green locomotive combination on Kirkby curve as LNER A3 4-6-2 4472 Flying Scotsman & B1 4-6-0 1306 double-head a Steam Special train from Carnforth to Ravenglass and Sellafield.

I had journeyed up to Carnforth on the special train on the West Coast Main Line from London Euston that morning. The train was taken over by LNWR Hardwicke & Flying Scotsman and Hardwicke stayed on until Ulverston where 1306 took over.
