The Last Years of Carlisle Steam - Howard Routledge
CHAPTER ONE
THE CITADEL
Fowler 2P 40651 acts as a pilot to Royal Scot Class 46145 The Duke of Wellington’s Regt. (West Riding) as they depart Carlisle Citadel station with an up Thames-Clyde Express in August 1956. The original station opened to traffic in 1847 and was later to receive substantial alterations, completed in 1881, which included the fitting of full width Tudor style glazed end screens, as pictured. At the time this photograph was taken, the glass roof was becoming unsafe and the end screens were also in a poor state of repair which resulted in work commencing in 1957 to replace and drastically reduce the area of the covered roof. A.J. Clarke/Colour Rail
Stanier Princess Coronation Class 46229 Duchess of Hamilton makes a vigorous start from Citadel station with the up Royal Scot – first stop, London Euston. Compared to the previous photograph, this image shows to good effect how much of the station roof was removed during the 1957/58 renovation work. Also of note are the new platform canopies being erected as work progresses on the new end screen. Paul Irving
At first sight, it appears that the Caledonian express is awaiting departure from Carlisle to continue on its journey from Glasgow to London Euston; but it is apparent that the train pictured is actually northbound and is most probably not the Caledonian. The Caledonian train ran on weekdays only, but the train set was employed on a Saturday service between London and Glasgow, and that is what I believe is depicted here. This theory is supported by the lack of a tail lamp on the coach, as well as a loosely hanging hose, both clues that a locomotive change is taking place. It would appear that Camden based 46100 Royal Scot has brought the train north from Euston, and after being uncoupled, it is seen running light through the station towards Upperby shed. The Caledonian was usually allocated to a Coronation Pacific. Paul
