Gateway pledges new railway track
BRIEF ENCOUNTER: MP Geraldine Smith who
performed the opening ceremony and Peter Yates Chairman of the Carnforth Station Trust
|
A 10-YEAR dream came true
yesterday when a derelict North Lancashire train station was reopened.
Carnforth Railway and Station Trust Company Limited officially launched Carnforth Gateway.
It represents the first stage in ambitious plans to restore the station to its former
glory, following a Elm investment from Railtrack.
It is intended to be the gateway
for people in Carnforth to visit the proposed attractions of the island platform and the
railway.
It will also encourage passengers arriving by railway to visit the town and its
attractions.
The proposed attractions include the Brief Encounter Refreshment Rooms, the Carnforth
Heritage Centre and a lecture theatre which will open next year.
