Incorporated 26 June 1846. Robert Stephenson recommended
that the Clapham to Low Gill section be abandoned in favour
of completing the Lancaster and Carlisle route. Work had
advanced as far as Ingleton so the rest was completed, as a
single line branch. Opened to Ingleton, 30 July 1849. The
line was caught in the wranglings between the London North
Western Railway and the Midland Railway over routes from
London to Scotland.
