Customer Reviews
Penrith train station is small and straightforward, easy to get around without any fuss. The staff are usually friendly and helpful, which makes the experience smoother. Trains run fairly reliably, though like many rural stations, delays can happen now and then. The platforms are clean and well kept, and it’s not too crowded most of the time. There isn’t much in the way of facilities, so it’s best to bring what you need with you. No coffee shops or food outlets, just the basics. Overall, it does the job well as a quiet, no-nonsense station for getting to and from.
Penrith Station was quiet and very clean. There are lifts on both sides. It’s a good place to travel from if you want to visit the Northern Lakes. The train service is good, with direct trains to places like London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, and even Manchester Airport. There’s a coffee cart outside the main entrance, and a McDonald’s nearby if you want a quick meal. There’s also a castle right in front of the station.
Nice station indeed , helpful staff , tidy in all areas & the toilets are the nicest public toilets I’ve been too ! Possibly a recent refurbishment, also they have a water bottle refill station which is so handy for us cyclists .
