Keswick to Penrith Railway Re-opening

Welcome to our new website!

This site was launched in 2007, at a stage in the project where much of the technical and study information required to apply for a Transport and Works Order had been assembled or was being progressed.

The purpose of this new site is to present more information about the reinstatement project and less about the history of the line - which is well documented elsewhere.

The result, we hope, is something of a "mini-library" about the Railway reinstatement.
This should be of use to anyone with a stake in this project, or seeking inspiration for reopenings elsewhere.

The project has continued for several years using only appropriate professionals to carry out the required studies. All work has been done at minimum cost or, in the case of the Directors of CKP Railways plc, completely unpaid.

We all believe that this Railway needs to be reinstated and are making whatever efforts are necessary to achieve this result.

On other pages you will find out what we are doing, how you can support the Reinstatement project, or simply help spread the word.
