Network Rail is to spend Network Rail has announced £14.7m replacing the roof of Carlisle station and rebuilding all eight platforms.
Delivered as part of Network Rail’s Railway Upgrade Plan, the money will significantly extend the life of the station’s roof, which dates back to 1847, as well as reducing the amount of future maintenance. The platforms will be safer for passengers with tactile paving marking their edges and new surfaces throughout.
The new roof will make platform areas brighter and more pleasant. It will be made of ETFE (ethene-co-tetrafluoroethene), the same material used on the roofs of the new Manchester Victoria and Birmingham New Street stations.
Network Rail has worked closely with Historic England the local authority (which is Carlisle City Council) to plan the refurbishment while protecting the station’s listed building status. Virgin Trains, which operates the station, has been consulted throughout to accommodate the work with the minimum amount of impact on passengers. No train services will be affected and all areas of work will take place in safely hoarded areas.
Work will start on site on 30th November 2015 and the roof refurbishment will take up to 15 months to complete. Work on the platforms will start once the roof is finished and is due to be completed in February 2018.
While the roof is being replaced a full scaffold ‘crash-deck’ will be installed which will reduce the amount of natural light in the station but allow the works to be carried out safely. Temporary lighting will be used throughout the work.
A total of £9.5m will be spent on the roof upgrade and £5.2m on the platform work.
