Does anyone know the reason why most Manchester-Windermere trains miss out Lancaster ? It means you can't get from Barrow or Leeds to Windermere without changing twice.

Holborn Viaduct (1990) ?

Of course none of these are as famous as the station master at Kishi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tama_(cat)

Which presumably explains the picking-up/setting-down restrictions at Hale. The LNWR had running powers between Hartford and Altrincham.

It was four-tracked, but the motorway took much more than just the northern pair. You can see old maps on http://maps.nls.uk/

For those with dishes - PBS America is now available on Freesat They are currently showing a program about US Streamliners of the 1930s - repeated later this afternoon
