Lowgill Viaduct Lowgill Viaduct, Ingleton branch. The Ingleton branch left the Skipton - Lancaster line at Clapham Junction and ran through Ingleton, Kirkby Lonsdale & Sedburgh, joining what is now the WCML at Lowgill, south of Tebay. Had the Midland and the LNWR reached agreement before parliament forced the Midland to build the S&C, this would have been the Midland’s main line to Scotland. As it was, the Midland was ordered to follow through with its plans for the S&C, and the Ingleton branch operated for around a century as a country backwater and sometime diversionary route. Opened 1861, closed to passengers 1954 and closed outright 1967.
