Courteous and efficient, our representative here was all we could expect! The station itself was clean and laid out in an appropriate manner so that travel in and out was easy. Bit of a walk to Durham city center, it's mostly downhill so no worries leaving. Walking to the station was mostly up hill. We had a lovely stay in Durham!

Thanks to this railway station, now people all over the world get to enjoy the Lake District,…read moreespecially those traveling without a car like me and my friend. According to our local tour guide, the Lakes are set to have 18 million visitors this year. It's quite convenient that there is a direct train from here to Manchester. We came in changing at Oxenholme, but upon leaving, I don't have to do that. I only have to change at Manchester to get to York. It's good too that there is a self Service ticket machine inside. And Booths is next door, where you can get a sandwich or a bottle of water for your journey. You can also catch the Service 599 and other buses to get to Bowness, Ambleside, Grasmere, Keswick and other towns.

My family and I visited this charming little railway on Sunday, August 4th, 2013…read more We started our journey from the town of Harrogate early in morning and it took a couple hours to get to the Haverthwaite Railway Station. The railway runs for 3 1/2 miles from Haverthwaite Station, along the banks of the River Leven, to Lakeside Station where passengers can board a boat to cruise across Lake Windermere. There is the Station Restaurant at Haverthwaite Station where you can purchase drinks breakfast, coffee or lunch. One of their specialialties are Giant Homemade Scones. I tried one and it was very good. It is definitely a giant scone and I split it with my son. Apparently, they are supposed to have a really good apple pie and sausage made by a local butcher. They also serve their very own locally brewed "Fairburn Ale". It was too early in the morning or I would have tried that. In addition, there is a Gift Shop that sells books, model locomotives and other souvenirs. Website: www.lakesiderailway.co.uk

On the other side there's a small sit-in coffee shop with the basics on offer during business hours. Restrooms are clean, and the arrival boards function normally.

The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway is a fantastic narrow gauge railway that runs up and down the…read morebeautiful Eskdale valley between Ravenglass and Boot. Most carriages are open but some are covered for when the Cumbrian rains come. Most trains are steam hauled by amazing scale models of steam trains - though some services are diesel hauled. Boot itself is a small village (visit the fantastic Boot Inn while you're there) whereas Ravenglass is a fairly sleepy seaside town with a beach area, shops, pubs and restaurants. A fantastic day out is to cycle down the Eskdale cycle path (much of it off-road) from Boot to Ravenglass and then put your bikes on the train and get hauled back up the valley to your starting point. Note though that to carry bikes on the train you do need to book ahead to ensure that they have space available.
