Couple spends two years restoring hidden Lake District railway station

A couple have spent two years restoring a Lake District railway station which became covered in vegetation after it was mothballed in the 1960s.

They are opening it to visitors along with a replica steam train used in the film Murder On The Orient Express.image captionMrs Parums, 54, said the station, last used in 1966, was always part of her life as she enjoyed childhood summer holiday visits to her grandparents who lived nearby. "The site was covered with trees and it had gone wild. These trees were 60ft tall by the time we took over the site and all the leaf mould and detritus had dropped on the track bed and hidden it.

The train was used in the 2017 remake of Murder On The Orient Express which was directed by and starred Kenneth Branagh and also featured Penelope Cruz, Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer.
