Cumbria Classic Coaches provided event transport and took visitors on trips to important sites on the line. 

Cumbria Classic Coaches are a family run firm based in Ravenstonedale who have a fleet of coaches that include:

• 1951 Guy Arab
• 1948 AEC Regal otherwise known as 'Florence'
• 1950 Leyland Tiger otherwise known as 'Daisy'
