Carlisle is an interesting station from the point of view

of the wide variety of operators that use it. One of these operators is ScotRail with Carlisle being the furthest south that they operate with trains going to and from Glasgow Central and Dumfries via Glasgow and South Western Railway route. Having arrived earlier from Dumfries, 156442 waits in the north-facing bay platform to return at 17.21 with the 2L12.
