The railway from Penrith to Keswick closed in 1972 but rail engineer Cedric Martindale is campaigning to reopen the 18-mile link.

He has formed CKP Railways to take the project forward, sold bonds to raise £400,000 and produced a business case.

In this podcast, he outlines the benefits that reinstating the line would bring and looks at the obstacles that must be overcome.
