With all trains on this route either late or cancelled

due to 'signalling issues' Northern was forced to run an ecs from Carlisle to then provide a relief service for stranded and delayed passengers. Not shown on the working timetable, the 5C50 11.11 Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness approaches Workington past where there were once lines of sidings and the point where the line stretched off to Cockermouth. There was another signal box off to the right named Siddick Junction that I also photographed during my 1985 visit but it was derelict even by then.
