Settle is a small market town and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is served by Settle railway station located near the town centre, and Giggleswick railway station which is a mile away. It is 29 miles (47 km) from Leeds Bradford Airport. The main road through Settle is the B6480, which links to the A65, connecting Settle to Skipton and Kendal.
Settle is thought to have 7th century Anglian origins, its name being the Angle word for settlement. Craven in the Domesday Book shows that until 1066 Bo was the lord of Settle but after the Harrying of the North (1069–1071) the land was granted to Roger de Poitou. In 1249 a market charter was granted to Henry de Percy, 7th feudal baron of Topcliffe by Henry III. A market square developed and the main route through the medieval town was aligned on an east-west direction, from Albert Hill, Victoria Street, High Street and Cheapside and on through Kirkgate. This road led to Giggleswick where the citizens attended the parish church. The first bridge over the River Ribble was mentioned in 1498. During the English Civil War, the Cliffords, the lords of the manor were Royalists, but their subjects were not. John Lambert of Calton in Malhamdale, was a general in Cromwell's army and his troops camped at Settle in August 1651 while on the road to an encounter in Lancaster.
The little North Western Railway reached Giggleswick in 1847 and in 1849 the railway company constructed Station Road from Giggleswick to Settle. In 1875, the Settle to Carlisle Railway was built, opening to goods traffic in 1875 and to passengers the following year when Settle railway station opened along with a goods warehouse, cattle pens, signal box and water cranes.
Settle was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is located in Ribblesdale, at the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales, within a few miles of the Three Peaks. Immediately overlooking the town is Castlebergh, a 300 feet (91 m) limestone crag, and to the east is Malham which was in the former Settle Rural District. The River Ribble provided power for Settle's former cotton mills, and is now being harnessed by Settle Hydro, a micro hydroelectric scheme, to provide 50 kW of power to the National Grid.
Settle's market is held weekly on Tuesdays in Victoria Hall in the town centre. Settle Town Hall was sold by Craven District Council to a developer. The Square is surrounded by local businesses, most of which are family-owned, with some offering items for sale unique to the Settle area. The Naked Man is believed to be the oldest cafe in the country. The Settle Stories Festival brings internationally known and award-winning artists to the town and boasts a range of paid for and free events suitable for all age ranges.
The district has several caves where prehistoric remains have been found, the most notable being Victoria Cave, so called because the inner chamber was discovered in 1837 on the day of Queen Victoria's accession. The cave is a geological SSSI and scheduled monument. Victoria Cave contained fossil remains. The earliest, at 130,000 years old, include mammoth, straight-tusked elephant, cave bear and hippopotamus, Bos primigenius, Rhinoceros leptorhinus and spotted hyenas (as a bed of hyena bones). They date to an Upper Pleistocene interglacial. After the last Ice Age the cave was used by hibernating brown bear and reindeer. Associated with the later deposits were a harpoon head carved from antler; flint implements and other ornaments. The discovery of flint is noteworthy as it is not found naturally in the area.

Ebbing and Flowing Well, giggleswick
For centuries one of the wonders of this part of North Yorkshire the Ebbing and Flowing Well has in recent years disappeared by the side of a dangerous road. William Wordsworth described it thus in the 1830's: Beyond Settle, under Giggleswick Scar, the road passes an ebbing and flowing well, worthy the notice of the Naturalist. Although it still works (ebbs and flows) many present day locals would not even know where it was and may, indeed, have never heard of it as it is no longer a tourist attraction of any sort. A shame, and if you get the chance to visit it do so by walking along and across the Settle golf course and then carefully approach from below. Take care, cars and trucks come down Buckhaw Brow at quite a speed and there is no footpath. Surely an important project for the highways agency or perhaps an opportunity for Giggleswick School, who own the land including Giggleswick Scar, to cut an access footpath from the golf clubhouse through the woods thus avoiding the road altogether!

Trains at Carnforth - 14/12/2016
Filmed on 14/12/2016. This station is the home of history of trains and what remains and is still in service, welcome to Carnforth (Season 3 Episode 87).
The original plan of going to Carnforth was to see two steam locomotives in action:
5V44: Carnforth Steam Town to Southall WRC
5M50: Carnforth Steam Town to Carnforth Steam Town via Helifield.
Sadly, both was cancelled. The Southall train wasn't requested despite both steam locomotives were in full steam that day. The Carnforth train was cancelled I think it was because of driver training duties. One of the steam locomotives was 45695 Galatea which has been on driver training duties for quite sometime.
Despite this, it was a good day as we see a variety of Virgin Trains, Arriva Rail North, First Transpennine Express and some freight heading for a variety of destinations including: Lancaster, Glasgow Central, Manchester Airport, Carlisle, Barrow In Furness, Preston, Edinburgh, London Euston, Morecombe and Leeds.
A quick look of what is the home of West Coast Railway Company, there is a variety of class 47's, 57's, 37's and the two steam locomotives which were supposed to be running but never ran. Not many tours left for 2016 but the jobs of refurbishing the coaching stock and maintenance of the locomotives as they are ready for the next tours to be ran.
Carnforth station originally had 4 platforms as Carnforth used to be the main connecting area for London, Scotland and The Cumbrian Coast. It shows how the times has moved on with the west coast mainline with what used to be class 47's, 86's, 87's and so much more. Not forgetting what started the project of the Virgin Trains Pendolino otherwise known as the APT tilting train. Sadly it had issues which resulted in them being scrapped and out of service for good.
A good station Carnforth is but hopefully will catch some rail tour action there in 2017.

Trains at London Kings Cross - ECML 12/02/2016
Filmed on 12/02/2016. Season 3 Episode 7: A short weekend away in London.
We arrive at the station I always wanted to film at, the southern terminus of the East Coast Mainline of London Kings Cross.
An hours stint as we see a variety of: Virgin Trains East Coast, Grand Central, First Hull Trains and Great Northern Services. We see trains heading for a variety of destinations including: Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Sunderland, Peterborough (Stopping), Cambridge and Kings Lynn.
Personally, the new look Great Northern EMU units look smart in the new livery and refurbished interior as well. By seeing what First Capital Connect has been running was apparently the worse train operating company and glad to see the back of them.
In the sidings, we see a EWS liveried class 67 parked up possibly used for drag duties when it's required to.
