Cumbria County Council starts Lakes Line upgrade journey

Cumbria County Council is spearheading a funding bid to develop the business case for expanding capacity on the Lakes Line between Oxenholme and Windermere.
The county council has today submitted an application to the Department for Transport for a £50,000 contribution to the cost of a business case and feasibility study into establishing a dynamic passing loop and associated signals on the Lakes Line. Creating this additional infrastructure would pave the way for restoring more frequent train services.
The Lakes Line is currently single track, which means only one service per hour. This limits its ability to support the visitor economy and restricts local community access via rail to health, education and other key services.
