A Hitchin and Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation by Michael Smyth.
This presentation covers the changing scene on the Settle and Carlisle from the 1960s to the present day. It features the slow decline in traffic towards its planned closure, refusal of closure, and subsequent resurgence of traffic through to the present day.
Illustrated by my own and unpublished images taken throughout this period capturing not just the trains but the scenic setting of this line in its ever changing and at time extreme weathers.

Doors open 13:30 for a 14:00 start to the presentation. There will be an extended interval for Christmas/New Year “nibbles”.
