    Might the Whitehaven tunnel issues result in closure? Could Whitehaven be brought back into use? And other speculation on this issue...

    Are there anymore maintenance nasties waiting in the wings between Millom and Corkickle to warrant total closure? If not id have thought the least politically damaging solution is just to continue with the status quo albeit with a more sparse parliamentary service continuing from Millom or...
