    Settle-Carlisle 150 anniversary steam train from Carlisle to York on Monday 25th May 2026.
    The Settle-Carlisle Railway Development Company invites you to join us for a very special steam-hauled journey celebrating 150 years of passenger railway on the world-famous Settle–Carlisle line.

    On Bank Holiday Monday, 25 May 2026, step back in time as our magnificent steam locomotive departs from Carlisle, travelling south through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the UK, with pick-up stops at Appleby, Settle, and Skipton, before arriving in the historic city of York.

    Sit back and enjoy sweeping views of the Eden Valley, the Yorkshire Three Peaks - Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside - and the iconic Ribblehead Viaduct, one of Britain’s most celebrated railway structures.

    On arrival in York, you’ll have several hours of leisure time to explore this remarkable city. Wander the awe-inspiring Gothic halls of York Minster, uncover the city’s Viking heritage, or immerse yourself in railway history at the National Railway Museum.

    For something a little more relaxed, browse York’s independent shops and cafés, including the postcard-perfect medieval street, The Shambles.

    After our time in York, we’ll rejoin the steam train for a scenic return journey to Carlisle, retracing our earlier route through the Dales and Eden Valley.

    Locomotive requested - Battle of Britain Class “Tangmire” (their spelling!)

    Approximate timings (TBC)

    Depart Carlisle - 7.45, Appleby - 8.30, Settle - 9.40, Skipton - 10.40 Arrive York - 12.25

    Depart York - 17.00, Skipton - 19.25, Settle - 20.30, Appleby - 21.30, Arrive Carlisle - 22.10
