The northern end of the Settle to Carlisle railway had been closed since February 2016, due to a major landslip near Armathwaite (location NY4949 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5170658 ). After months of complex engineering work, this was the first day that train services through to Carlisle were resumed. To celebrate the reopening of the line, Flying Scotsman was chartered by the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway http://kwvr.co.uk/ for a special return trip from Oxenhope.
