    A suggestion from my 8 year old son, the route carnforth to Carlisle round the Cumbria coast through Barrow in Furness. With the option to have the narrow gauge Ravenglass and Eskdale railway at Ravenglass, Laal Ratty

    The coast route could have freight options of nuclear flasks to Sellafield?

    Also an occasional steam tour from West coast railways at Carnforth.

    We'd certainly buy anything like that

    It would be a nice scenic run and could give a home to a rebranded Class 153 from the Cardiff route (when it appears) or earlier Class 108 DMU if back in BR days.

    Sellafield BNF could be a bit tricky though, what with security concerns etc. Freight wise, BR days would be better with the significant traffic to and from the steelworks at Workington.
