West Coast Main Line

Goods line to the west of Carlisle to bypass the station are included although they were closed in 1984 after a runaway rake of container wagons derailed at high speed on the River Caldew bridge at Dentonholme, damaging it beyond economic repair. However, no trains are scheduled to use the bypass in the attached timetable.
