  • A new way to view the Settle Carlisle Railway
    Jul 4 2025
    The Settle Carlisle Railway has just unveilled three new cameras along the line as part of their 150th year. Julian finds out more as he chats with Commercial Manager, Anna Jackson , who is the new Commercial Manager at the Settle Carlisle Railway Trust. Three new cameras have just gone live along the line including one at the quarry sidings at Horton in Ribblesdale; one looking up to Ribblehead and one looking out to Pen-Y-Gent - great for weather watchers or planning a walk in the Dales. The cameras have been launched just as the quarry siding reopened 150 years after freight was first on the lines. And that's brilliant news, taking the weight off road haulage in the Dales, as for the first time since the siding was closed stone from the quarry is now carried once more by rail. Find out when you can see the steam trains are scheduled to pass the cameras, with top tips and timetables!

  • The All Together Now Choir 10th Anniversary Concert
    Jul 1 2025
    Originally the concept of Chris Kemp, the choir has grown since he first called out for members in his home town of Baildon. He was surprised when 80 people responded! Since then the choir has grown to over 300 members. There are now more than half a dozen choirs across the area, all meeting weekly and singing the same songs under Chris's instruction. So when they come together the results are magical! From pop to rock, plenty of eighties (Chris's guilty pleasure) and songs from the shows, it really is an eclectic mix of the tunes we all know and love. Here Chris talks about the choir and its beginnings and about where they are now. He explains the reasoning behind the tenth anniversary concert and what we can expect. Its on Saturday 13th September at St Georges Hall in Bradford.
