Pentecost break – Day 1 Workington to Crewe

Today I began a short break. I have a senior railcard and I make full use of it. Today I began with a journey from Workington to Crewe. I began with the 13.56 Northern service from Workington to Carlisle. This was part of new improved Sunday service for the Cumbia Coast Line. This train had run from Barrow in Furness. I believe its the first Sunday service since 1976,

On arrival in Carlisle I had a short wait for the 15.05 service to Crewe. This train was actually very quiet – until Preston. For £15 I was able to upgrade my standard class ticket to First Class. I was the only one in my first class coach until Preston!
