About Us

This website is managed by the Settle-Carlisle Railway Development Company Ltd (SCRDC). 

The Settle-Carlisle Railway Development Company was set up in 1992 as a not-for-profit limited company in response to the call from the Transport Secretary for all political parties to work together following the highly documented reprieve of the Settle to Carlisle rail line in 1989.

We work in partnership with the rail industry, local businesses, community groups and organisations to encourage socio-economic engagement along the world-renowned Leeds-Settle-Carlisle railway.  As station adopter of both Settle and Appleby stations, we also work closely with a group of dedicated volunteers to maintain the upkeep of the station’s gardens.

Through our Station Improvement Group we work in collaboration with Northern, Network Rail and the Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line to deliver a variety of station improvements and restoration projects that enhance the user experience and preserve the lines heritage.
