Lake District proposal A SCHEME for a light railway between Ambleside and Keswick has been submitted for the approval of the Westmorland County Council. It is proposed to run the railway between the head ofWindermere Lake and the Keswick Station on the Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway by way of Grasmere and Thirlmere. The length of the line will be 16 miles, and the estimated cost of construction is £150,000. Five lakes would be seen en route, plus some of the finest scenery in the Lake District. Petrol-electric engines would be employed, and there would be no smoke and little noise.
