Duchess Double Garsdale Cumbria 6th April 1991

            LMS 4-6-2 46229 Duchess of Hamilton at the Garsdale station water stop. 46229 hauled the Duchess Double Railtour from Blackburn to Carlisle via the Settle & Carlisle line and return (hence the Double). 

It had originated in London (I think - 6 Bells Junction has no information) but I picked it up in Stockport and we were hauled by Class 47 diesel 47810 to Blackburn where 46229 took over. I had an aisle seat and all the doors/windows were occupied so I couldn't really appreciate the journey most of the time! We stopped here for water which gave a chance to grab a few shots, not that the rainy weather helped. Back in BR days things were more relaxed, there was very little traffic on the line & no-one stopped you wandering over the tracks - I wasn't the only one!

On the return journey 46229 was replaced by a diesel at Farington Junction and I left the tour at Stockport. Surprisingly Six Bells Junction website has no information at all about this railtour.

Today Garsdale is in Cumbria but historically it was in the West Riding of Yorkshire and of course, as everyone knows, it really still is part of Yorkshire!
