Russia-United Kingdom relations
The hardest thing is to start an article. The start version usually serves as a base for the rest of the evolution course of the article. Your start version was exellent, so it was really easy to take it up in the evolution course. P.S. It will look really good if you create a section of articles you started on your user page.

Gunnmap, User:Aaaarg, and Map recommendation
Hello, since user:Aaaarg seems abscent from Wikipedia, can you introduce a little this interesting application (Gunnmap) :
 * 1) Where to download ? -> answer/the link http://gunn.co.nz/map/GunnMap.air is empty.
 * 2) Is it easy to use ? -> answer, need it special skills, software, Linux/Window ?
 * 3) are the sources free and available ? -> Link: http://gunn.co.nz/map/  I just cry one hour when I discovered that I can't save the final product ; Available: I think Arthur was making this also to promote his website and father business. Don't care: I perfectly agree to support the business of people making a such amazing and generous job ! But I note that he will probably not share the code (for a such huge and hight quality work, I honestly can't request him to free his code). So, his current soft displaying to much parametres/possibilities, we (/I? O.o) will have to give him many feedback/request to get the option "Make gradiant map according to Wikipedia standard".''

I finnally found myself more information than expected. The most important now seem to know : do you still have an GunnMap.air file ? User:Yug 08:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi everyone, sorry for my absence.

You can get the offline version from http://gunn.co.nz/map/GunnMap.air.zip The offline version allows you to save the maps in PNG and SVG form. Note that currently the generated SVGs can only be read by a small number of apps. I should be able to fix this in a later version. Last time I checked Wikimedia was able to handle them okay, however I would still recommend PNGs.

The app requires Adobe AIR. There are Mac OS and Windows versions which can be download from http://get.adobe.com/air/. There is also a Linux alpha available at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air/.

I'm currently planning another version with an improved interface and some new features, so feel free to give me suggestions or requests.

DutchplacenamesAus
Hi, if you're going to tag places like Houtman Abrolhos or Pedra Branca, which were named by the Dutch but are nonetheless names of Portuguese origin, would you mind moving that template to a more accurate title? Hesperian 06:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, The Dutch didn't name Cape Leeuwin; they didn't even find it. A Dutch ship called the Leeuwin met with the south west of Australia, and thereafter that land was named "Leeuwin's Landt" by the Dutch. But it was Matthew Flinders who discovered the Cape itself, and named it Cape Leeuwin. This is only going to work if you figure out a precise definition, give the template a title and heading that conforms to that definition, and then only tag articles that meet your definition. Hesperian 06:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * And I'm not at all certain about Dirk Hartog Island either. Hartog himself named it "Eendrachtlandt". I don't know who renamed it in Hartog's honour; it could have been Vlamingh (Dutch), Freycinet (French), Dampier (English) or even King (English). I doubt Nuytsland too. That's at least two, maybe four errors out of six for Western Australia alone. The more I look into this the more it bothers me. Please stop and have a good long think about it. Hesperian 06:43, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Chiming in, I agree with Hesperian. Your article Australian places with Dutch names is probably a good place to expand on the etymology of these names, but a template without a lead and inclusion criteria has the potential to be misleading.   As it reads now, the template is factually wrong as above and may need to be deleted.  It could simply be replaced by a ==See also== entry.   The article is good and useful by the way and could be expanded. Moondyne 08:21, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

 * yes I wasn't sure what to do about some of them, there were a few grey areas. There are a few where there is a feature which is named after the old general name for the area used by the Dutch, like Cape Leeuwin/Leeuwin's Landt as you mentioned. What if the template was limited to places named by the Dutch which are still in use, and the Portuguese names were noted? --Roke 09:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Another problem still remaining is some place names have little resemblance to the name given eg. Rottnest Island. Apparently, that is an Anglicisation of "Eyland Rottenest"—the Dutch did not give it the current in-use name. Moondyne 12:25, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Roke! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Non-free rationale for File:Melbourne cup Makybe Diva 2005.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Melbourne cup Makybe Diva 2005.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Map of the Territories of Dynasties in China – Thanks!
User:Roke, I believe you are the creator of the map listed above. If you ever find your way back here, I just wanted to thank you for it.

I have always thought how helpful maps of this sort would be, for every country. And voilà, here is a wonderful example, an excellent tool for learners of all levels. The map makes it easy to grasp the change over time as regions were consolidated into empires (for better or worse) under powerful warrior kings, and also to understand the fluidity of borders over time. If only all learning were made so pleasant and easy – thank you for taking the time to assemble and label all those maps! Peacedance (talk)

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes ( ).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

Braystones railway station

Braystones is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 37 mi north-west of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the villages of Beckermet and Braystones in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

The station is an unstaffed request stop. It is situated directly on the coast in a remote location. Pearson's 1992 railway guide is moved to comment, "The tiny halts at Braystones and Nethertown are as remote as anything British Rail has to offer...".

History
The Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway was authorised in 1847 for a line which would link the town of Whitehaven with the Furness Railway at Broughton-in-Furness. It was opened in stages, and the first section, that between Whitehaven and Ravenglass opened either on 1 June 1849 or on 21 July 1849. The station was host to four LMS caravans from 1937 to 1939.

The station buildings are still extant however are in private ownership. As of June 2021 the old station building is called Platform 9 3/4. A bus-stop style shelter is provided on the single platform.

Service
As of the 15 December 2019 timetable, five trains call in each direction (on request) from Monday to Friday, with one extra train in each direction on Saturdays. There is no late evening service, but a limited Sunday service of four trains in each direction (on request) was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change; the first to run over this section since 1976.

Ravenshead

Ravenshead is a large village and civil parish in the Gedling district of Nottinghamshire, England. It borders Papplewick, Newstead Abbey and Blidworth, and is part of Nottinghamshire's Hidden Valleys area. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 5,636, reducing marginally to 5,629 at the 2011 census, but increasing to 5,891 at the 2021 census.

History
Newstead Abbey, a 12th-century Grade I listed building and ancestral home of Lord Byron, although in Newstead parish is accessed from Ravenshead. After the death of Thomas Becket, King Henry II supposedly to make up for this terrible deed gave the Canons of the Order of St Augustine the land at Ravenshead where they set up a priory, the walls of which can still be seen today. It is here that the name Ravenshead is first encountered. "Ravenshede begins at the aforesaidway which lies from Papilwyke [Papplewick] to Blydeworthe, along the hollowroad eastward which is called Thefestyghe: and this leads to the King's highway which is called Nottinghamgate."

In the Middle Ages the priory was a stopping place for pilgrims.

In 1349 the prior died of plague. The soil in the area is very sandy and unsuitable for growing crops. There is no evidence of a settlement in the area until the 15th century when there was a hunting lodge called Langton Arbor, near present-day Blidworth Dale.

The legend of Robin Hood centres on the area of Sherwood Forest in which Ravenshead is located. Although a later addition to the legend it is possible that one of Robin Hood's followers, Friar Tuck, was inspired by the priory. Will Scarlet is also supposed to be buried at nearby Blidworth Church.

In 1966 a hoard of gold coins and jewellery was discovered by workmen on a building site near present-day Cambourne Gardens. The coins were probably buried by someone fleeing south after the Battle of Hexham in May 1464. The "Fishpool Hoard", as it is known, is on display at The British Museum, London. Fishpool, Notts is the name of the area where they were found as the building site did not have the name Ravenshead then (see below).

On 17 July 1817, a young girl from Papplewick named Elizabeth Sheppard travelled to Mansfield in search of work. Early next morning her body was found in a ditch. The "Sheppard Stone" stands next to the A60 marking the spot on the roadside below Portland College and is still regularly maintained. Her ghost is said to appear if the stone is disturbed. Her killer was identified as Charles Rotherham, from Sheffield, who had tried to sell her newly bought shoes and an umbrella.

In nearby Thieves Wood, on 23 June 1883, gamekeeper Albert Spinks shot the first example of an Egyptian nightjar in England. He mentioned it to Joseph Whitaker, a naturalist, who recognised it as a rare bird species in Britain. He had the bird stuffed and it is now kept in a museum in nearby Mansfield. No further examples were seen in Britain until 1984.

100 years ago Ravenshead was centred on an area called Fishpool, this name appeared on a 15th-century map.

Most of Ravenshead parish was in the parish of Blidworth in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire prior to 1987, with part coming from the parish of Newstead, already in Gedling.

Schools
The village has two primary (infant) schools while the secondary school most commonly attended by pupils from Ravenshead is Joseph Whitaker School in the neighbouring village of Rainworth.

Abbey Gates Primary School
Abbey Gates Primary School, founded in 1967, is a mixed primary school in Ravenshead, which serves mainly the local village community, with about a third of the pupils coming from farther away.

The attainment of pupils on entry to the school is in line with that expected nationally for children of this age. The Foundation Unit is recognised as a centre of excellence. (Ofsted, 2006)

In 2006, Darren Powell, a teacher at Abbey Gates, produced a short film featuring members of his class titled, "Body Image for Beginners," which was shown on Teacher's TV.

Ravenshead C of E Primary School
Ravenshead C of E Primary School was formed in September 1999 from an amalgamation of Pilgrim Oak County Infants' School and Martin Roe C of E (Controlled) Junior School. It is located on Swinton Rise, in Ravenshead, Nottinghamshire. In the Ofsted report of 2006, the school was categorised as "outstanding".

Amenities
In the centre of the village there are also several shops including a newsagent, chemist, a fish and chip, a café, a shop and a Chinese takeaway.

The village has an Esso petrol station, a Sainbury’s Local and a Nisa convenience store and a large leisure centre with tennis courts and football pitches, but no swimming pool. There are four pubs: The Hutt Inn, Little John, Sherwood Ranger and Larch Farm. It also has an Italian Restaurant and Bar Santini.

Residents
Ravenshead has a diverse population of professional people, elderly people and skilled workers. It also serves as a commuter village to Nottingham.

Farming was the main occupation in the area until the arrival of the local shops and schools. The only other industry in Ravenshead was sand quarrying. The first quarry was opened in 1919 to provide building sand for Nottingham and Hucknall.

Nethertown railway station

Nethertown is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 39 mi north-west of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the village of Nethertown in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

Nethertown was the least-used station in Cumbria in 2020-21, with an estimated 254 passenger journeys made.

History
The station was opened on 19 July 1849 by the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway when it opened the line between Whitehaven and Ravenglass.

In 1914, the passing loop was expanded to cater for the increased length of trains due to World War I. In May 1916, the shunting neck was extended and an additional 90 yd of sidings were provided.

The station was host to six LMS caravans from 1937 to 1939. The station was particularly busy with passenger traffic in the 1940s–50s when it served the Nethertown military camp, which was training anti-aircraft gunners. After the war, it was reused for construction workers building the Sellafield Nuclear plant.

During the 1970s, the passing loop was removed due to a decrease in traffic and train frequency.

As of August 2019, the only facility at the station is a passenger shelter on the single platform, but up until the early 1970s, the station had more substantial buildings as well as a signal box.

Location
The station is directly on the coast in a spectacular and remote position overlooking the Irish Sea from a small cliff. Pearson's 1992 railway guide is moved to comment, "The tiny halts at Braystones and Nethertown are as remote as anything British Rail has to offer....Nethertown station seems suspended between the cliff face and the sands". There is a vehicle track from the public highway and a footpath shortcut to the village.

Since 30 March 2021, the station has been on England's Coast Path with the opening of the St Bees to Silecroft section of the long-distance path.

On the seaward side, the remains of the sea-filled swimming pool built by the contractors from the camp can be seen.

A foot level crossing connects the platform to the station approach track, and though this offers step-free access, the platform is too low to allow level access from platform to the train. A Harrington hump has been installed to allow easier access on and off the train, the steps which were previously mounted on the platform have been removed. Timetable posters are available and there are electric lights during operating hours.

Services
As of the 15 December 2019 timetable, five trains call in each direction (on request) from Monday to Friday, with one additional departure each way on Saturdays. The timetable stated briefly in 2019 that some Saturday services do not treat the station as a request stop, this reverted to all services being request in December 2019 and may have been a printing error as all local timetables had all trains as request only. There is no late evening service, but a limited Sunday service was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change; the first to run over this section since 1976. Currently the Sunday service consists of 4 trains in each direction.

Talk:Falx

Derivation
"It is most likely derived from the scythe, as it resembles one with its blade rotated 90 degrees."
 * I don't where this comes from, is it just an assumption based on the shape? The article scythe says that it was not invented until the 12/13 century, besides I have seen some 19th C scythes and they are way to thin and flimsy for a falx.

No scythe
From what i can gather from all the numerous and innacurate sources out there on these weapons the Falx and its cousin the Rhomphaia were most likely developed from a spear like weapon. Extend the blade of a spear and you have something resembling a polearm, its not really too hard to imagine a course of evolution taking it from a double edged weapon to a single edged one and from there adding a curve to increase the cutting power. The actual shape and size of the weapon simply does not fit with it having derived from a scythe.

Reinforcing crest
I have deleted the following text which was recently added:

 * (the romans added a reinforcing crest to thier standard pattern helmets to defeat this devastating weapon).

I am not sure what the author means by "crest". Roman helmets had long had a reinforced brow, but this predated encounters with a falx by hundreds of years. What did change, was the addition of straps to the helmets - this is alread mentioned in the article. Gaius Cornelius 16:55, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

MInor language clarification
Changed all instances of "double handed" to "two-handed" Will scarlet 42 03:25, 2 November 2006 (UTC)Will_scarlet_42 1 Nov 2006

And big ups to whomever snuck 'goolies' in. 98.253.107.5 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:56, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Sica / Falx
The first site used for references (http://www.gk.ro/sarmizegetusa/ranistorum/site_eng/arma.html) states that the short version of the weapon (one-handed) was called "sica" and the long one (two-handed) was called the "falx".

Also, on a page with comments about the engravings of Trajan's Column, the word "sica" is used to refer to the short weapon. Exeprime 17:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Development of the Falx
This article: http://www.romanarmy.net/manica.htm has an interesting hypothesis that the manica was not necessarily developed as the result of the Dacian wars. Maybe this information could be incorporated somehow? —Preceding unsigned comment added by L clausewitz (talk • contribs) 17:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Falce murale
A bot has recently added a link to an Italian wiki page Falce murale. My grasp of Italian/Latin is limited, but I suspect that the link should properly be in the Siege hook acticle. Can anybody confirm this? Gaius Cornelius (talk) 09:53, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Two-handed Falx
"The Roman monument commemorating the Battle of Adamclisi clearly shows Dacian warriors wielding a two-handed falx." Well, that would be a Rhomphaia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhomphaia Maybe the photo caption should be changed. 23:50, 24 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lastdingo (talk • contribs)

St Bees railway station

St Bees railway station is a railway station serving the village of St Bees in Cumbria, England. It is on the Cumbrian Coast line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

It is the location of the only passing loop on the lengthy single track section between Whitehaven and Sellafield, and trains are often scheduled to pass each other here.

St Bees is famous for the rocky St Bees Head, the starting point of the Coast to Coast Walk which runs from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, and many walkers alight at the station to start the walk. The station has the distinction of being the most westerly in Northern England.

History
The Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway, a line which would link the town of Whitehaven with the Furness Railway at Broughton-in-Furness, was authorised in 1847. It was opened in stages and the first section, that between Whitehaven and Ravenglass, opened on 1 June 1849. St Bees station opened on 21 July 1849.

In 1848 Canon Richard Parkinson, Vicar of St Bees and Principal of the Theological College, wrote in his diary: "November 8th., 1848. The Railway-whistle heard for the first time in this quiet valley. Its peace is gone!" Later, on 12 February 1849, he records, "Ash Wednesday. Good congregation. The first train of coal wagons on this day (dies cinerum) ["Day of Ashes"] went on the railway to Braystones". Despite deploring this shattering of the valley's peace, Parkinson travelled on the official train when the line was opened as far as Ravenglass in 1849. The imposing station buildings, consisting of station master's house, waiting rooms and ticket office, were built in 1860 by Mr J Townley of Whitehaven.

Derailment
At about 6:45 am on 30 August 2012 a two-carriage passenger train en route to Sellafield was derailed a mile south of St Bees following a landslide caused by heavy rain.

Extensive civil engineering repair work has now been carried out to prevent a recurrence. In addition the underbridge at Seamill Lane was replaced in 2013.

Description
The railway station is a stop on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line, 70 km south-west of Carlisle. It is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services. The station master's house and ticket office, on the up (southbound) platform, date from 1860 and was formerly a restaurant with a railway theme, but is now a private house. On the down (northbound) platform, the waiting room is still a period timbered Furness railway structure, slightly modified to become a private dwelling.

To the east of the "up" platform is the site of the goods yard which was heavily used for the stone traffic from the sandstone quarries at St Bees in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It also handled the traffic from Walker's scone flour works and pickle factory, and the luggage traffic for St Bees School at the beginning and end of term. The yard is now a public car park which is subsidised for free public use by the Parish Council. The coal yard was off the down line on the north side of the level crossing.

Step-free access is available to both platforms via ramps from the road, and the low platforms have Harrington Humps for mobility-impaired users. Following the introduction of four-carriage locomotive working, in 2016 both platforms were extended by re-instatement of sections of unused platform. Train running information is offered via timetable posters, CIS screens and telephone. Tickets can be bought from a vending machine at the station or on the train.

Signal box
The station has a 24 lever signal box, which was opened in 1891 to meet the heavy traffic demands of that time. In December 2013 this was designated a Grade 2 listed building, being one of the few in the UK built in the "Arts and Crafts" style. This is a Furness Railway type 3 design. The English Heritage listing recommendation report says:

"The Type 3 design is one of the most distinctive boxes ever erected, in an arts and crafts style, probably influenced by the stations that Austin & Paley were designing for the Furness Railway. It has a tall battered base in stone and a steeply pitched tiled hipped roof. Tall window frames are individually grouped. Unfortunately the survivors have all had their windows replaced but this has altered their character less than other boxes with larger expanses of window and more complicated patterns of glazing. Examples survive at Park South (1883) and St. Bees (1891), the latter in an attractive rural setting is worth consideration [for listing]."

The level crossing is controlled by the signalman, who is also responsible for delivering the key tokens for both single line sections to train crews.

Position
The station is in the centre of the village, and there are three pubs within easy walking distance: one, the Albert, formerly being noted for having warning of the approaching trains rung through from the signal box in the evening. The beach, and the start of the Coast to Coast Walk are a 20-minute walk away.

St Bees Golf Halt
St Bees Golf Halt was provided about a mile south of the village for golfers visiting the golf course. From 7 April 1914 golfers could halt a train by operation of a signal provided. The halt ceased operation in 1918.

Services
On Mondays to Saturdays there is a roughly hourly service northbound to Carlisle and southbound to Barrow-in-Furness, with some extensions to Lancaster and Preston. A roughly hourly (each way) Sunday service was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change - the first such regular provision here since 1976.

Outer Critics Circle Awards

The Outer Critics Circle Awards are presented annually for theatrical achievements both on Broadway and Off-Broadway. They are presented by the Outer Critics Circle (OCC), the official organization of New York theater writers for out-of-town newspapers, digital and national publications, and other media beyond Broadway. The awards were first presented during the 1949–50 theater season, celebrating their 70th anniversary in 2020. David Gordon, Editor-in-Chief at TheaterMania.com, currently serves as president.

History
The Outer Critics Circle was founded as the Outer Circle during the Broadway season of 1949–50 by an assortment of theater critics led by John Gassner, a reviewer, essayist, dramaturg, and professor of theater. These critics were writing for academic publications, special interest journals, monthlies, quarterlies, and weekly publications outside the New York metro area, and were looking for a forum where they could discuss the theater in general, particularly the current New York season. The creation of the OCC was also a reaction to the New York Drama Critics Circle, which did not allow critics of lesser-known publications to join their ranks alongside writers of major New York and national publications. The first awards (for 1949–50) were: The Cocktail Party (Play); The Consul (Musical); Sheila Guyse, Performances in Supporting Roles for Lost in the Stars, and Daniel Reed, Performances in Supporting Roles for Come Back, Little Sheba.

In the early 1960s, the awards and forums of the OCC were supervised by Broadway veteran Charles K. Freeman and Joseph Kay, Manhattan reporter/critic for the Kansas City Star. This team was succeeded by Marjorie Gunner, who guided the group for 25 years before retiring in 2004. Simon Saltzman, a New Jersey-based theater critic, served as President until 2018, when he was succeeded by David Gordon of TheaterMania.

In addition to Gordon (president) and Saltzman (now President Emeritus), the Board of Directors currently includes Richard Ridge (Vice President), Joseph Cervelli (Recording Secretary), Patrick Hoffman (Corresponding Secretary), David Roberts (treasurer), Harry Haun (Historian), Cynthia Allen (Web Editor), Janice Simpson (Member), Doug Strassler (member), Dan Rubins (member), and Stanley L. Cohen (advisor).

Corkickle railway station

Corkickle railway station is a railway station serving the suburb of Corkickle near Whitehaven in Cumbria, England. It is on the Cumbrian Coast line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains. The station opened on 3 December 1855, and is at the southern end of the 1219 m tunnel from Whitehaven. Between 1855 and 1957, the station was known as Whitehaven Corkickle.

Facilities
The station building survives as a private residence. The station is a single platform and has shelters, display information and disabled access.

Services
Monday to Saturdays there is hourly service northbound to Carlisle and southbound to Barrow-in-Furness. There are no trains after 21:00 on Mondays-Saturdays, but since the May 2018 timetable change a Sunday service now operates (for the first time since 1976) from mid-morning until early evening.

Freight
The area immediately south of the station was for many years a busy freight location, handling haematite ore traffic from Moor Row mine as well as chemical tankers up & down the incline at the nearby Preston Street goods depot (the one time W&FJR passenger terminus) and associated yard. Two signal boxes (Corkickle No. 1 & No. 2) supervised the sidings, as well as controlling access to and from the incline and the Moor Row branch (the surviving portion of the former Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont Railway line to Egremont & Sellafield). Although sufficiently busy to require its own resident shunting locomotive well into the 1970s, the gradual loss of traffic from the early 1980s onwards saw facilities run down and following the demise of Preston Street depot, the yard eventually closed (along with both signal boxes, which had been replaced by standard LMR-designed structures in 1958–59) on 15/16 February 1997. Today no trace remains of the sidings or either signal box, only the one surviving running line southwards towards St Bees & Sellafield.

The Corkickle Brake
In 1881 the Corkickle Brake, a roped incline 525 yd in length and with gradients of between 1 in 5.2 and 1 in 6.6 was built from the Furness Railway main line, a short distance to the south of Corkickle station, to the Earl of Lonsdale's Croft Pit.

The 'brake' closed in 1931 due to the worsening financial situation of the colliery's owners, Lonsdale's Whitehaven Colliery Co. In May 1955, the incline was re-opened, this time to serve the factory of Marchon Products - a subsidiary of Albright and Wilson - at Kells. It was used mainly to haul rail tanker wagons containing sulphuric acid from the main line - by now in the ownership of British Railways - to the Marchon factory. The Corkickle Brake closed for good on 31 October 1986 when it was the last commercial roped incline in Britain. The task of transporting acid and other chemicals was taken over by road tankers.
