This dvd is the story of one of the most important days on the Settle-Carlisle Railway for decades. On the 22nd March 2005, HRH Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales, visited the region aboard the Royal Train, hauled by steam locomotive, Princess Coronation Class No. 6233 ‘Duchess of Sutherland’. For only the second time since 1967, a steam-hauled Royal Train was operated in the UK.
Viewers will recall the 2002 train which took HM The Queen through North Wales. In 2005 it was decided to hold a similar event using the Princess Coronation Class No. 6233 ‘Duchess of Sutherland’ with HRH The Prince of Wales on board – this time for a visit to the Settle-Carlisle Railway.
We have extensive footage of the whole event, including many lineside shots and the build-up to making the event happen which was filmed at the locomotive’s trust’s headquarters at Butterly.
Approx. 40 minutes.

Saving of Settle Signal Box
£4.00The remarkable story of how Settle’s old 1891 signal box was moved from its location of over 100 years to nearer the station. The movement required special measures being put in place to make certain the structure was secure and steel bracing put around it. A 90-ton road crane was hired in to lift the box onto six trolleys positioned across the main Settle-Carlisle Line which was closed and in a possession for track work elsewhere along the route.
This is the photographic story of the movement in 1997 and the restoration of the signal box as seen by photographs by Roger Hardingham.
