Once boarded the train was still .......empty.

But in the last five minutes before departure it completely filled with people "going out for the ride".

It was due to their constant checking that halfway to Barrow we learnt that the ongoing train from Barrow to Carlisle had broken down and the service cancelled

That was going to leave 4 carriages full of "enthusiasts" with nowhere to go!

Options:-

* Pub

* Wait for the next train round the coast

* Go back to civilisation on the next train to Lancaster.

Due to connection issues to get back in a timely fashion to Leeds from Carlisle we chose the last option
