Polymer and Cement
GBRf 'Shed' unit 66734 'Platinum Jubilee' rolls slowly into Carlisle station for the scheduled crew change on the 7.11am Mossend - Clitheroe Castle (4M01) discharged cement tanks.
The exceptionally fine roof here was the subject of a £14.5m renovation 5-6 years ago where the traditional glass panes (which would occasionally fall to the platform due to distortion in the roof trusses) were replaced by polymer material, and the roofing structure generally strengthened.
The result is remarkable to say the least with a much brighter and more pleasant environment than the one I remember from previous visits. Formerly known as Carlisle Citadel station, it was built between 1846 and 1848 at a cost of £53,000 and, externally at least, was designed by William Tite to be sympathetic to the Citadel located close by.
Comments off for this one, thanks.
