    After my wife and I have been for a walk in Eskdale, we often want to be able to hop on a train back from Ravenglass, Irton Road or Dalegarth. As we won't know what time until we get there, the present system does not work for us.

    Bet the signal is pretty poor up there, in an ideal world you should be able to book your seat, in real time via your mobile. Bet there isnt a Lal'Ratty app. though.

    After a meal at Wasdale Head, we pottered down to Dalegarth and 3/4 of our group went down on the last train of the day - after coffee at Fellbites.

    I was very surprised to find Perkins on duty ! - apparently R. Irt had been failed with air compressor problems earlier.
    Didn't have any problem with the load that I could see, the train was 10mins late, but that probably was the result of earlier shenanigans.

    [We finished off our day with ice cream at St,Bees before returning to OrangeHaven] {akaWHN}.
