There may be occasions, when for circumstances beyond our control, we have no alternative but to withdraw a trolley service.

Focussing on local food, we offer a range of cakes and biscuits made by Country Fare in Mallerstang.  Country Fare is based at a farm within sight of the line between Kirkby Stephen and Garsdale.  Why not try one or the award winning ginger biscuits or a piece of flapjack or speciality shortbreads and biscuits.  Forget the calories and buy a piece of the delicious chocolate caramel shortbread!

Also available is a wide range of hot and cold drinks is available including filter coffee, tea, hot chocolate, mocha, fruit infusions, water, fruit juice and a selection of confectionery, crisps etc.

On some trains between Appleby and Carlisle, you will also be able to enjoy a locally-made ice cream, produced at Winskill - a village not far from the station at Langwathby.  With a choice of flavours, vanilla, strawberry, peach & mango, chocolate, why not indulge yourself with a delicious treat.
