In February 2016, a landslip of 500,000 tonnes of material on an embankment above the River Eden necessitated the closure of the Settle and Carlisle line which traverses the top of the bank at this point. A massive £23 million project to stabilise the slope and provide a secure base for the track with pilings 20 metres deep is currently under way. Completion of the project is anticipated in the spring of 2017. Meanwhile a replacement bus service is being operated between Carlisle and Appleby.
