Northern unveils photography exhibition at Ulverston station

A new exhibition showcasing the rich history of Ulverston railway station has opened to the public. Ten carefully selected photographs, courtesy of the Cumbrian Railways Association, now adorn the walls of the recently refurbished station underpass.

The images, spanning from 1915 to 1980, offer a glimpse into the station's past, capturing everything from staff portraits to steam locomotives. Station manager Jane Murray said: “I am so proud of what has been achieved and I do hope that everyone who walks in the underpass enjoys looking at these pictures, which will give them an insight into what the station looked like many years ago.”

The exhibition is just one part of an ongoing project to improve the station, which welcomes over 320,000 visitors annually. Alongside the photographic display, Northern has invested £10,000 in upgrading the station's facilities, including repainting the waiting room and repairing the clock tower. Further enhancements, such as automatic doors and a new roof, are planned for the future.
