Customer Reviews
A really nice train station that is the end of the iconic Settle to Carlisle train journey. There are lots of facilities and comfortable spaces on the platform. There are also lots of interesting signs throughout to learn about the history of the station.
Really historic railway station at he edge of border between England and Scotland. Restored well with lots of original features around the station. There is not much in station to ear or drink but plenty of places outside of station to eat or drink. From Carlisle plenty of major companies are serving for most of the main cities of UK. The surrounding area is full of history and majestic scenery such as Hadrian Wall to Lake District. While you travel from here to Leeds, that track is worth a break of journey because of nature beauty all around.
Love what they have done to this station and it really is a gateway to everywhere: Scotland, the Lakes, the West Coast and if you needed to, over to Newcastle. The roof let's in so much light and the team on the platforms are super helpful. There's a bar on site. Such history, such a beautiful building as you enter and leave Carlisle.
