Modernisation
of Carnforth Station, L.M.S.R.
EXTENSIVE improvements to Carnforth station at a
cost of £53,000, are to he carried out by the L.M.S.R. under the Government Loan scheme.
The plans include the provision of a new platform 890 ft. in length, and the raising of
the level of the existing platforms, the modernisation of the station accommodation, the
laying down of new carriage sidings, and the replacement of Nos. 1 and 2 signal boxes.
When these improvements are completed, the company expects that it will be able to provide
better train services from Carnforth to the Furness area which, in addition to
Barrow-in-Furness and the greater part of English Lakeland includes the seaside resorts of
Morecambe Heysham, and Grange-over-Sands.
