Hexham to Carlisle

including the Alston and Brampton Branches

by Roger Darsley

This very historic route runs close to Hadrian's Wall and thus traverses superb upland scenery. Its many closed stations are illustrated, along with those on the long-lost branches. Details are also included of the Earl of Carlisle's Railway, which once carried minerals between Lambley and Brampton.
