A GROUP of walkers has been blasted for causing a train to slam on its emergency brake while crossing a viaduct.
this is not a rare incident - some tourist seem to leave their brains and manners at home when visiting this area - as a local i see peoples private property crossed, gates left open, bad manners displayed if you dare use your own PRIVATE road to get home, there are plenty of maps that show people where to go they just assume they can go where they want
What "Silly Billies!!" not a very good example for children. Why were they not reported and arrested???
Investment to increase capacity at Carlisle’s Lanes shopping centre is on the cards following a change of ownership. 
What brought one of the most advanced performance management systems to Cumbria?
Cumbria business women make waves on the west coast 
Have your say
Those folk walking over the viaduct should have tried it when there was a steam special about to cross the viaduct. Brakes on steam engines are about only 40% efficient as a railcar so they would have ended up in West Cumberland Hospital if not the coroners slab! Folk like that deserve to be injoured when trestpassing and prosecuted under the Health and safety at Work Act for endangering life - their own!
