Just loved
this mural on the wall in The Station Restaurant
Had been to
the Haverthwaite Railway station which is in Cumbria
The highlight of the
Station was the Restaurant. I think Mrs Maher and her crew did a wonderful job in welcoming
the travelers and making them feel at home.
The place was tastefully decorated with a
display of pictures of the old steam engines that hauled many a load.
The station
itself had that old world charm with a small over bridge and signboards showing
the right directions.
Saw this
sign next to the ticket office
Very soon
the train pulled in with the steam engine chugging away to glory.
It was a 18
minute run from Haverthwaite to Lakeside and nostalgic for many to experience
the steam engine and the bogies which were used about half a century ago, but still
well maintained.
The view as
the train chugged along was something out of this world.
Made a three minute video on the
whole journey.
Once we
reached Lakeside we were ferried across in a boat. More on that in the next
blog.

We just took a dinner train to experience a Mystery dinner. It was grand fun. We too love trains.
Have a fabulous day. ☺
I liked your Haverthwaite Railway and Station pictures, Haddock. Of course I like trains and have ridden on a bunch literally all around the world. They were either tourist trains or those serving a transportation function. I've blogged about quite a few, search for "train" on the blogs. One of my favories was of the narrow gauge train ride from Douglas, Isle of Man, up to Ramsey. Along the way, we stopped at Laxey to ride the steam train up the mountain to Snaefell.

Thanks taking me on that train, the ride was lovely, seemed like riding through a heavenly place!
I thought it was creative that the fireplace was the engine's Firebox in the painting - Rowena Helton Zimmerman

...what a wonderful spot for a train lover, I'm sure you had a great time.
Fantastic pictures. I loved the train travel during a brief visit to the UK.
The Lake District is surely one of the most captivating areas in all of Britain and it is not hard to appreciate why it was favoured by poets as an object of their rhapsody.
The Lake District is one of my most favourite areas to visit.
Lovely to see all of your photographs.
All the best Jan
