Where is it?

Our pictorial quiz, for fun only

-

LAST month’s mystery picture (right) was of Workington station, on the Cumbrian Coast line. It was built by the London & North Western Railway after they took over the Whitehaven Junction and Workington & Cockermout­h lines in 1866, and replaced the original station built by the Whitehaven Junction Railway.

The town did have two other stations: Workington Bridge (on the LNW route to Cockermout­h) and Workington Central on the Cleator & Workington Jct Railway.

The town was hit by flooding in 2009, which washed away several road bridges, with Network Rail building and opening Workington North in six days.

There was a free shuttle to and from Maryport, which ran from November 30, 2009 until May 28, 2010.

Now can you identify this station (left)?

Answer next month.
