Liveblogging as the Settle–Carlisle line reopened
#online, #live blogging,I was in charge of BBC Cumbria Live on the day that the Settle to Carlisle line fully reopened to passenger trains for the first time in 13 months.
A landslip at Eden Brows near Armathwaite had moved 500,000 tonnes of earth underneath the track.
The live page covered all the day’s activities celebrating the reopening including a visit from the Flying Scotsman.
