Carlisle Floods but the S&C Trains are Running

A weekend of disastrous flooding in Cumbria and Carlisle especially after the heaviest UK rainfall on record.   All railway lines into Carlisle were closed including The Leeds-Settle-Carlisle, unusually.

But this morning our remarkably robust railway line re-opened to traffic.   And to prove it here is the destination display on the rather weather beaten but bang-on-time 1348 train for Carlisle:

The sun is shining and the outdoor temperature is 14C - very warm for December.   The flags on the water tower are flying as our little gesture to the flood hit areas further north - Cumbria and Scotland.
