I'm just old enough to remember being able to catch a train from Ulverston to Coniston, or to Lakeside at the foot of Windermere. Having said that, however, I confess to some considerable surprise at discovering the extent of the railway network that surrounded the Lake District in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Lost Railways of Cumbria provides an excellent description of that past era in Cumbrian transport history. It will give hours of pleasure both to railway enthusiasts and to lovers of the Lakeland county.
