    This 10 mile long line single track stretches from Oxenholme Lake District station on the West Coast Mainline to Windemere, with a maximum speed of 60mph. There are 5 stations on the route, and could offer a quiet passenger route as only one train runs at any one time. The fully self contained route could include the Class 195 'Civity,' operated by Northern, and sometimes Class 185s, 153s and 156s.
    The main buying point for the line is its scenery, short as it is it allows much effort to be placed into properly modelling the Lake District and Lake Windermere.

    A comparable experience would be the St Ives Bay line.

    What a coincidence, i was just at windermere a couple of days ago and i was looking at the station. I would love it if this came to the game as a route!
