195131 has recently arrived at Windermere from Oxenholme in the early afternoon of 29 May 2021. All passengers were having their tickets checked before leaving the station, however I quickly took some photos and rejoined the train (heading to Manchester Airport) to return to Preston. In the last 15 years I have now seen Class 175s, 185s and now a 195 at this Lake District station. What a pity that it hasn't included a Class 331 EMU as the planned electrification from Oxenholme was shelved.

The old station at Windermere has been converted into a supermarket with the original 1847 building, including this covered entrance, happily surviving the metamorphosis. The line has been cut back only a very short distance and the bus is just leaving the second station on a service for Lancaster.
