"Scenic railway line features on new CD-ROM" - Craven Herald - 7/12/01
 Jim
Redfern's encyclopaedic knowledge of the Settle to Carlisle line has been
captured on a new CD.
It features the history of the scenic line, and photographs and focuses on towns and villages along the line. There's even an quiz to test your knowledge of the famous line, once threatened with closure but now a major tourist attraction. The 72-mile line opened to passenger trains in 1876 and crosses some of the remotest areas in England. It is a masterpiece of Victorian engineering. The
CD was written by Jim, of Long Preston, with help from Dave Mulligan. Mr
Mulligan said: "When we finished our first Ingleborough Triangle CD-ROM
we decided to combine our passions for walking and writing by covering
the Lake District. We completed the Coniston Fells but we only got part
way in the "The Langdale Valley" before Foot and Mouth stopped us. So instead
we called upon Jim's encyclopaedic knowledge of the Settle to Carlisle
Railway. To our surprise it did fit onto a single CD-ROM and we're delighted
with the result."
