There may once have been a view of southbound trains struggling up the last yards to Shap Summit - but then somebody built quarry buildings and the view was lost! A Virgin Trains "Pendolino" tackles the last few yard up Shap with the 12.00 passenger service from Glasgow Central to Euston via Birmingham.
