Top home for rail fans tracked down

The £375,000 property sits on the tracks of the 73-mile Settle to Carlisle line in northern England. Named the Old Station, it was closed to the public in 1970 and converted into a private residence in the 1980s.

But the house, in Little Salkeld near Penrith, Cumbria, has still retained the feel of a station.
