With its lake and coastal steamer fleet and its branches forming the ideal 'Gateway to Lakeland', the Furness Railway is remembered with affection by both local people and holidaymakers. Happily most of the routes still exist; the main route still serves the scenic coastal area, and the Lakeside branch is now one of Britain's thriving preserved lines.
