The Mystery of the Roadside Rail Attraction
Profile BASSENTHWAITE LAKE STATION he sight of a steam engine lying at the side of the Cockermouth-bound A66 may leave visitors wondering, and not just how a French SNCF Class 241 locomotive and coaches found their way to Cumbria. For those in the know, of course, there is Tno mystery around the location since they are aware that what is now a road was once a railway. Situated on the former Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith line, Bassenth- waite Lake station saw holidaymakers and haulage alike pass between its platforms from 1865 to 1966, when the Beeching cuts put an end to the station’s operation. However, the origins of the train itself is literally the stuff of fiction. A full-scale replica of the model featured in Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, it is the train that appears in the 2017 film adaptation of the best-selling writer’s world-famous novel. Its presence at Bassenthwaite has already lured numerous knowledgeable locomotive lovers to the site, hovering beyond the white-painted fence at the boundary of the Station House scrutinising the train’s historical Above: Diane and “The planners were very supportive and helpful.

Bassenthwaite Habitats Delivery Plan 2011-16
Bassenthwaite Vital Uplands - Ecosystem Services Pilot Project Bassenthwaite Habitats Delivery Plan 2011-16 The Delivery Plan sets out actions for the next 5 years which could maximise the provision of ecosystem services within the Bassenthwaite area. Bassenthwaite catchment provides a wide range of ecosystem services for people who live in and way beyond the area. These include food, timber, water provision, water quality, carbon storage and sequestration, flood regulation, recreation, tourism, education, historic environment, biodiversity and health benefits. As one of three national ecosystem services pilot projects, the Delivery Plan aims to demonstrate through integrated working with partners, farmers and other land managers, how multiple public benefits can be delivered at a catchment scale. Bassenthwaite Vital Uplands is part of the Bassenthwaite Lake Restoration Programme, with the Delivery Plan developed through workshops and individual meetings with partner organisations. Management actions to deliver ecosystem services were identified at a Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) prioritisation workshop. Potential areas for the land management actions were mapped with reference to a broad range of existing map data (see Bassenthwaite Vital Uplands Baseline Document). Implementation of the Delivery Plan is dependent on the voluntary uptake of HLS and other funding by farmers and other land managers. Traditional livestock farming in this pilot area can provide many multiple benefits in addition to food. To deliver multiple benefits farmers need to be able to balance management for food production with HLS schemes providing wider benefits. As such the delivery of ecosystem services can only be achieved where it forms a part of economically viable farm businesses. Farmers‟ views on the provision of ecosystem services and how delivering these can be incorporated within their farming businesses, has been sought through a questionnaire jointly with the University of Cumbria (10% of all farmers in catchment responded) and two farmer workshops.
