| The first passenger railway to reach Cumbria was the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway,
1836. More famous is one of the last, the Settle and Carlisle Railway, 1876. Where
once there were puffing steam engines there are now growling diesels, and some quieter
electric units. |

Martineau, published by John Garnett, Windermere, Westmorland,

The morals of rural districts are usually such as cannot well be made worse by any change. Drinking and kindred vices abound wherever, in our day, intellectual resources are absent: and nowhere is drunkenness a more prevalent and desperate curse than in the Lake District. Any infusion of the intelligence and varied interests of the townspeople must, it appears, be eminently beneficial: and the order of workpeople brought by the railways is of a desirable kind. And, as to the economical effect,- it cannot but be good, considering that mental stimulus and" goto sourcePage 142:- "improved education are above every thing wanted. Under the old seclusion, the material comfort of the inhabitants had long been dwindling; and their best chance of recovery is clearly in the widest possible intercourse with classes which, parallel in social rank, are more intelligent and better informed than themselves." "..." goto sourcePage 144:- "... the barbarism of two centuries ago. It is the railroad that must mend them. In a generation or two, the dale farms may yield wool that Yorkshire and Lancashire, and perhaps other countries, may compete for. The cheese may find a market, and the butter may be in request. And at the same time, the residents may find their health improved by the greater wholesomeness of their food; and, before that, their minds will have become stirred and enlarged by intercourse with strangers who have, from circumstances, more vivacity of faculty and a wider knowledge. The best, as well as the last and greatest change in the Lake District is that which is arising from the introduction of the railroad." |

The present generation has little conception of the changes that have taken place since the day when the mail-coach was the only medium of communication between town and country. To the bulk of quiet villages, the arrival of a Londoner was a thing to talk about, while few members of a family ever looked upon the metropolis as a place of resort, except for a state visit once or twice in their lives. ... But, even with improved roads and excellent coaching, the Englishman, except when bent upon business, was a fixture at home; and it was not until after the full development of the railway system, that the excursionist became a person of importance, and a class to be conciliated. With the excursionist came the guide-book; ..." "There is the same difference between the handbook of the present day and the old post-chaise companion, as there is between an express train and the carrier's waggon. ..." |

Probably the first thought that occurs in glancing over these volumes [guide books] is the extraordinary extension of the railway system, and the changes it has produced in the outward appearance of the land. Highways, such as the Great North road or the Holyhead road, which once teemed with traffic, and swarmed with coaches, might now have grass growing on them so far as the traffic is concerned. Villages situated on these roads, which contained coaching-inns of repute, are comparatively deserted, and the inns shut up. But the balance of compensation is seen in the creation of entirely new centres of habitation ... From the same cause, monster hotels have sprung up, in some cases without any apparent object but to make a railway to them, and thus attract a residential population; while our towns and cities are inhabited by a daily ebbing and flowing crowd, which for the most part shuns them at night as though they were infected with a plague. Whether the beau-" |

Fortunately nothing can spoil our mountains, and we certainly are indebted to the railways, not only for taking us to them without loss of time, but for putting in the power of so many to visit them, who otherwise could not do so, so that we must take the good with the bad, ..." "But the railway system has done more than bring this scenery to our doors, it has given us some of the highest triumphs of modern days. The art of building bridges, which, when road-making was in vogue, was brought to the height of perfection by Telford, is now-a-days joined with the most astonishing originality and boldness; and the English railway-bridges may fairly challenge the world. ..." |
