Bare

Although at one time a village, the area of Bare has over the years become a part of Morecambe, although it still retains its independence. Bare is the only intermediate railway station  on the branch line that runs from Lancaster to Morecambe, although it became an unstaffed station several years ago. 

The signal box that used to controlled the crossing gates has recently closed. 

A train bound for Lancaster arrives at Bare Lane station. It is a well used station for commuters into Lancaster.

Carnforth Station & Heritage Centre

The Carnforth Station & Heritage Centre is well worth a visit. It's free! Changing exhibitions, railway memorabilia,  and a well stocked shop make this a fascinating venue. It is run by the Friends of Carnforth Station. I've featured it before, but here are another set of images. 

L.M.S. .(London, Midland & Scottish Railway) luggage trolley.

The film is constantly shown at the station Heritage Centre in their mini cinema area. 

If only it was that cheap in 2013!
