signalnorth Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Did Carlisle have a set of sidings given over exclusively to carriages in the 48-68 period please? If so, where were they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I remember inspecting carriages - for possible preservation - at Currock Yard in the '80s ..... but don't know whether that was always a carriage facility. It would have been on the LM.S. in earlier years and there's likely have been an L.N.E.R. yard somewhere too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Border Reiver Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 There were carriage sheds at Upperby, only recently demolished 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Border Reiver Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Here is a photo of Upperby Carriage sheds on 19 March 2016 shortly before they were demolished. Most of the roof on the left hand side of the building was taken down many years before. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGR Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Upperby was the carriage shed. In the '80s there was the likes of a rake of blue & grey open firsts in there, including '358' from the SLOA set at the time it was being replaced by a doppelgänger. Currock was a wagon repair depot, but was not averse to the odd quick coaching stock job for example around about the same time as above a random trip there yielded one of the VSOE 'pullman' Mk.1 half-brakes in umber and cream livery. Was very late in the day so the photo wasn't too hot though in the fading light. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
