Snippet Detail

Figure 39 shows the track layout at Mallerstang, based upon information from a Midland Railway survey of 1913.

Plate 106 shows the signal box at Mallerstang from the south in 1963, four years after the removal of the lie by sidings.  A passenger station was requested for this site in 1884 but was never implemented; it is believed that necessary local money was not forthcoming to build an approach road.  Garsdale to Kirkby Stephen remained the longest stretch of line (9 3/4 miles) without a station.
