Whitehaven
An afternoon DMU service for Carlisle waits in the bay platform at a 'pre-rationalisation' Whitehaven station in 1972. (The platform serving through trains to Barrow and beyond is on the other side of the station building.) Opened in 1874 as a replacement for the original 1847 terminus built a short distance to the south, it carried the name Whitehaven Bransty until the suffix was officially dropped in 1968 (although the signal box in the background still carries the name).
