Mark Title: Re: Location: Where was I ? Post by: Bmblbzzz on July 07, 2023, 17:04:44 It looks modern but in a style to look old. No idea where it is though.

The roof panels are now self-cleaning EFTE (look it up !)........... money well spent, I think.

A bit more on the new roof here: it doesn't mention that being a far lighter installation, additional structure was designed in to resist any temptation the roof might have, in high winds, to become a kite. https://www.vector-foiltec.com/projects/carlisle-train-station-replacing-glass/ Mark Title: Re: Location: Where was I ?

Have passed your link on to a family member who is an industrial abseiler. He has done work on the roof at Paddington - but not Carlisle. Title: Re: Location: Where was I ? Post by: Bmblbzzz on July 07, 2023, 19:45:19 I looked up the roofing material mentioned. The Wikipedia article needs updating – under "Notable buildings" it lists Carlisle station as "under construction (2017)"!
