- Millom is a town and civil parish on the north shore of the estuary of the River Duddon in the southwest of Cumbria, England. Millom was constructed as a new town, beginning in 1866 and subsumed the village of Holborn Hill. Built around ironworks, the town grew to a size of over 10,000 people by the 1960s, but has struggled since the works were closed in 1968. Culturally, Millom is notable as the birthplace of poet Norman Nicholson, and as a major centre of amateur rugby league.

Single To Millom
The Lancaster to Millom service crossing Kent Viaduct. The plan was to watch the returning steam excursion from here along with the waiting gallery. A delayed morning departure (caused by a TransPennine late runner) caused a bit of a knock on delay and the gallery and excursion passengers were knocked back in the queue and so the excursion would not pass over until much later.
