EVERYDAY LIFE ON THE LINE
The quirky comings and goings of the Ribble Valley railway
Winter Wonderland — Stock Beck
Too late for a white Christmas, but the snow and frost did eventually arrive along the Ribble Valley in early January 2026. Looking west, with the viaduct behind you, this was the amazing picture at Stock Beck. This beautiful icy scene didn't last long — warm weather quickly arrived and in a day it was all gone!
