The Settle and Carlisle Line is one of the most well known and scenic line in the country which survived a closure attempt in the early 1980's. Despite much rationalisation over the years it still operated by a number of traditional signal boxes. The line starts at Settle Junction, which is controlled by a box, and starts the climb up the long drag. The box at Settle Station is preserved and is open as a museum. Continuing the climb the next box is at Blea Moor possibly the most isolated signal box on the network.. Next comes the box at Garsdale followed by the 'modern' box at Kirby Stephen. The market town of Appleby retains its box. Next comes Culgaith, followed by the closed Long Meg provided for the mine sidings. In the Eden Valley there is Low House Crossing followed by Howe & Co's Siding which, as the name suggests, was location for further industry.
