NWR Pickup (Ride)
The daily pickup goods was a feature of many railway routes up to the 1960s. These trains pottered from station to station shunting the yards, collecting and delivering a wide variety of vans and wagons. This had been going on for over 100 years whilst the railways carried all the merchandise as well as the passenger traffic. By 1960 with road competition the pickup goods was hopelessly uneconomic and faded away within 10 years.
This session follows part of the route of one such pickup goods travelling from Skipton to Lancaster. It runs automatically and will take about 90 minutes to complete.
