Garsdale Award Plaque Unveiled
Network Rail's restoration and refurbishment of Garsdale Station was recognised last year with a National Rail Heritage Award. FoSCL contributed £10,000 towards the cost, which funded the display boards inside the two waiting rooms. These high quality displays tell the story of Garsdale (formerly Hawes Junction) station and the sad tale of Ruswarp the dog, whose bronze statue now stands on a plinth on the up platform. FoSCL launched a highly successful appeal for the statue, which has now become a tourist attraction in its own right.
