Settle to Carlisle Railway 

Thank you for putting this up. WBRS at Brandeis University used to play it on a British/Celtic folk music show named after Black Jack Davey.

I heard this song during English lessons at school. Never thought I'd hear it again! Great song, I remembered it all those years.

Excellent track well sang and played. I remember Mike D he were a great guy. He used to bring his guitar on a Monday afternoon and we used to sing loads of other fantastic tracks including many others from the same album “A Bugs Eye View”. I’m PROUD to state I attended Witherslack Hall School based in Grange Oversands Cumbria many years ago now. I’ve recorded my own version of the Witherslack song (all about that school) and I’ve recorded my own version of Dug The Bug featured on the stunning album A B E V which to I won a copy of during my PROUD attendance at the school and I’ve STILL got the prize to this VERY day.

My grandfather worked with British rail at the old upperby 12b loco sheds, he started of as a cleaner and progressed his way up worked to a fireman and also a train guard, got plenty of photos of him and also his old blue rail jacket with his small 12b loco badge number and his old British rail ID card as well.

Fantastic song.

Cracking song this. When will someone include a cover of it on a good album.

This song makes the settle to carlise sound like the british equvilent of the transcontinental ngl.
