Design Guide
Welcome to the Settle-Carlisle Railway Design Guide. This has been put together to set uniform standards of restoration and maintenance for stations along the line. The aim is to achieve a consistency of quality and appearance that will enhance the status and appeal of the route.
Working alongside us are The Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line and the Settle & Carlisle Railway Trust.
The Friends of the Settle-Carlisle line are a rail user group which we work in collaboration with. They run solely on volunteers, and do work including; providing on train guides, hosting regular guided walks from the line, running the histroic signal boxes at Settle and Armathwaite, run shops at Appleby and Settle Station, work as station adopters and more.
The Settle & Carlisle Railway Trust exists to help preserve, restore and maintain historic buildings and structures along the line and to promote public knowledge and appreciation of the line. Alongside this, they also run holiday lets at Ribblehead, Kirkby Stephen and Horton-in-Ribblesdale, and also have a cafe at Horton-in-Ribblesdale.
