A LUXURY locomotive will be visiting Carlisle today (March, 30).
The Northern Belle train will be pulling into Carlisle at around 12.20pm this afternoon after departing from Manchester and travelling through Oxenholme Lake District and Penrith North Lakes' stations.
The Northern Belle’s journey over the Settle-Carlisle line previously featured on Channel 5’s The World’s Most Scenic Railway Journeys programme.
Narrator Bill Nighy told viewers it was “the grand duchess of luxury travel” and added: “Our plush grand tour has been the experience of a lifetime.”
On that occasion the Northern Belle was pulled by crimson-painted locomotive Princess Elizabeth, which once held the speed record for the West Coast mainline.
At £495 per passenger, the luxury locomotive has sold out for today's trip.
