The
Furness Railway Trust is based on the Lakeside
and Haverthwaite Railway. The railway is run by a private company.
The 2007 season is now almost upon us! Trains run daily from March 31st until the end of October. As well as the timetable, we also have details of this year's special events, and the fares. The special events kick off with a chance to meet Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends on March 24th and 25th.
There are tributes to Austin Maher, the LHR Chairman, who's died.
