The line between Gretna Jn and Carlisle was duplicated in the L.M.R. Western Lines North and the L.M.R. Central lines Sectional Appendices. Strictly speaking this link should go to the Western Lines, but in deference to the fact that this was, after all, a part of the Midland Railway's route to the Scotland, I have linked to the Central Lines. Links to the Western lines can be found on that page. Links
