This route follows the coast of Cumbria in North West England. Northern Rail operate a passenger service. DRS and EWS run freight trains from Sellafield, Drigg and Workington. Your journey starts at Barrow-in-Furness. After passing through the yard you enter a single line section, joining the main line at Park South. You head towards Askam, followed by Kirkby-in-Furness, Foxfield, Green Road and Millom. You go over the AHB crossing at Haverigg and over two level crossings at Kirksanton before coming to Silecroft. Signalling sections from Millom to Silecroft are short, so distant and home signals are on the same post. After Silecroft, you go over an unmanned crossing at Gutterby before stopping at Bootle, after which you pass through the disused Eskmeals station before crossing another viaduct. Ravenglass is the start of the narrow-gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway and this is a busy stop in the summer. A viaduct crosses the River Mite and you come to Drigg and, shortly after, the BNFL depot operated by DRS. Seascale is next, before your final stop at Sellafield, which is also a major DRS depot.
