The History of the Group
1984 The Group is formed as the Lakes Line Action Group by local residents and business people, concerned that the line no longer provides a suitable gateway to Kendal, Windermere and the Lake District National Park.
1986 The new station building is ceremonially opened on 17th April by local council leaders Jim Noble of South Lakeland District and Pat Holmes of Windermere Parish. The Group had co-ordinated the raising of £15000 for the new building.
