With extensive coverage of the stations and the MPD’s as well as the trains approaching Carlisle, all sizes of steam engines are represented.

I was born in Carlisle and when we were kids me and my mates used to go trainspotting at Carlisle station. We would buy a one penny platform ticket and spend all day in this place of wonder and excitement. It was so busy that we had to constantly move from one platform to another to " spot " all of the different engines. The Royal Scot, The Midday Scot and the Thames Clyde Express ,which went to London St Pancras via the Carlisle to Settle line were always ones to look out for. Thankyou for this film , it has brought back some very happy memories.
Great nostalgic coverage . Thank You
Wonderful to see Carlisle back in the day. My family come from the area, and I used to love seeing the engines when there on holiday.
Wow! To those of us 'of that time', the content is just fantastic and it's difficult to find the right words of thanks and praise for both the original filming and now posting of this absolute gem. Outstanding!
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching
As an ex Motherwell driver who started in 1980 these shots were obviously before my time but very interesting to see one of my old haunts in earlier days . Your description of the fireman grabbing mushrooms reminds me of a similar occurrence early on in my career , I was secondman on a freight from Millerhill to Mossend Yard when the driver stopped the train on the mainline , hopped over a fence and disappeared , knife in hand into a farmers field , returning with a big grin and a plastic bag of freshly purloined turnips .
Great Story. LOL
Priceless footage.Excellent. Used to spot at Preston around this time ( as a very young lad!) This is exactly what we saw there crowding the old footbridge at the London end leading to the Park Hotel.( Now long gone like so much else sadly.) I was a visitor from “ down South “ so these visits were much prized. My grandfather worked for English Electric at Strand Road and first took me down there aged five. Saw The Royal Scot pounding through Platform 6 Northward. Once seen never forgotten.That’s when the bug was bitten. Still infected over half a century later. Nostalgia is terrible thing. Feel like Rutger Hauers replicant in the film Bladerunner. “ I have seen things you can only dream of…..”
A lot of us infected with the same bug LOL
Surely platform 5. The old footbridge was the "glass bridge" giving access to platform 6 where usually Sid was the ticket collector in my day.
CTAC stands for Creative Tourist Agents Conference which was a consortium of 9 UK travel agents and firms which chartered special trains before the second world war and after 1945-1968, hope that answers your question Mr. Narrator.
Thanks for the information.

Fantastic, I've been looking for footage of Citadel and surrounding areas in steam days, as it is my spiritual home having lived in Stanwix for some years.
Great to see and thank you for posting.

Back then there were eight different directions trains could head from Carlisle, if you included the port road and Waverley route, so many different expresses as well as fast freight.
Super shots with a bit of colour.

Carlisle still a great centre for rail journeys - down to the Ravenglass and Esk, or the other way to Settle across the iconic viaduct, Skipton where the Canal Liverpool - Leeds. At Skipton is Freddy Truman's statue bowling a lethal looking bouncer to the unseen, hapless batsman. 😢

Carlisle was such an interesting place in the 60s, many of the lines have closed since. Nice is the mix of LMS, LNER and BR express type locomotives, but the Claytons and the CoBo are as unique footage as the steam which was in decline then. Little did they know that the Claytons and CoBos would be out of use within 5 years.
Thanks for watching
Love these old videos 👍👍

Carlisle great place. We took the train to Glasgow from down south around this time. Ian Allan Bible at the ready 13/24 /yr old
Also in TA train to Barry Budden training.
Years later visited Carlisle for Mallards 126mph 75th Anniversary. Two excursion trains on that eventful day - Union of South Africa and Duchess of Sutherland. Carlisle (Citadel ) built by the Caledonian Railway - Lion Rampant outline in metal on turret. Similar to Perth Railway Station. .
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching
Remarkable lack of big tank engines! Guess Carlisle too ‘ mainline’ in most directions what took the Newcastle trains?
Carlise must have been superb pre grouping, 6+ differant companies, all with own loco,s and liveries.
Most have been a sight!! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching
