Bassenthwaite Lake
The forecourt of the Orient Express cafe at Bassenthwaite Lake station. Station House on the left has been lived in since the line closure in 1966 but until around 2018 the station building on the right just comprised some crumbling walls with no roof and so it has needed a full restoration. The westbound platform has also been reinstated. Just off picture to the right is an LMR Maroon 'BASSENTHWAITE LAKE STATION' entrance sign, another nice touch. Such is the popularity of this new venue that the road outside was full of patrons' cars, even on a mid-week December day.
