Back in 1842, Thomas Edmondson was the station master at Brampton in Cumbria, on the Carlisle to Newcastle Line. A horse-drawn carriage was used along the Dandy Line to connect the station with the town.

This is an appropriate connection as I will shortly be showcasing a two-stage description of a new walk from Carlisle to Brampton to launch a set of car-free linear walks using public transport..
