	Tyne Valley Line - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The 60 mile (96 km) line was built in the 1830s, and links the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear with Carlisle in Cumbria.
		The line was built in sections from 1834 onwards; the entire route between Carlisle London Road station and Redheugh in Gateshead was formally opened to passengers on 18 June 1838.
		The line is not an electrified route; passenger services are therefore operated by diesel multiple units, typically Class 142 "Pacers" and Class 156 "Super Sprinters" which were introduced in the late 1980s.

	Guardian \| Empty seats spell end of the rural lines as 'Beeching II' cutbacks loom
		The SRA says the Penistone line is 'at the busier end of the spectrum' and rail insiders admit it would often cost less to provide cabs than run services.
		Penistone and six other lines will be named tomorrow as trials for the community rail strategy - which will continue marketing and reduce costs by, for example, adopting 'more appropriate' lower maintenance standards.
		If Penistone and other rural services do as the SRA has promised and halve the subsidy per passenger over the next five years, it could just be enough to prove they deserve to survive.

		The strategy was extended earlier this year to allow for the designation of services without stipulating the lines on which they run.
		This change was made to recognise that it is not always possible to designate the line itself because it may also carry freight, be part of the Trans European Network, or because of specific local issues.
		It has not been possible to designate the lines and services on these routes at present, but the DfT expect to designate portions of the lines used by these services at a later date.
