Eden Valley Railway

The Eden Valley Railway Society was formed in 1995 with the aim of reopening the remaining 6 mile Appleby - Flitholme section, (phase one). 2002 saw the fortieth anniversary of the last passenger train over the Eden Valley and Stainmore routes and the one hundred and fortieth anniversary of the first. In order to achieve our aims the society formed the Eden Valley Railway Trust, a registered charity and the Eden Valley Railway Company, at the Society's request a group of members and friends formed Stainmore Properties Ltd., in order to acquire and secure the former Kirkby Stephen East station site in readiness for our eastern extension (phase two). The Society was incorporated into the Trust on 1st April 2000. Passenger trains started running from Warcop toward Appleby in 2006.
