HistoryOriginally known as 'Lancaster Castle Station' in order to distinguish it from the first Lancaster Station (1840–1849), Lancaster station was officially opened on 21 September 1846. The first public service ran into the station on 17 December the same year. The station was built as the southern terminus of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway after the initial planned route for the line - which would have followed the Lancaster Canal and crossing the River Lune from Ladies Walk to Skerton - was changed in favour of a cheaper route west of the city. The station was remodelled in 1900-1906 when additional lines and platforms were added and further station buildings constructed.[3] The new buildings were styled mock-Elizabethan with the intention of mirroring the battlements of the nearby Lancaster Castle. Platforms 5 and 6 (on the east side of the station) were electrified in 1908 to serve the now-closed Midland Railway route to Morecambe and Heysham. This line closed in January 1966 and the overhead line equipment was removed. The track layout in the station area was rationalised in 1973 when control of the signalling was transferred to the new Preston Power Signal Box. This included the removal of the track from Platform 6, although this platform had seen no regular use for some time prior to this. The West Coast Main Line through Lancaster was electrified in 1974, and regular electric passenger services recommenced at the station 7 May 1974. DescriptionThe main building constructed in 1846 by William Tite was situated on the west side of the line in Tudor Revival style using roughly squared sandstone rubble. This two-storey building was extended southwards in 1852 in similar style although this section terminated in a tower of three storeys. A new entrance was constructed in 1900 on the eastern side of the line at footbridge level; this is nearer the town and houses the remaining ticket office.[3] The booking office is open throughout the week, closing only in the late evening (ticket machines are also available). A full range of facilities is offered, including a newsagents whilst there is also a buffet, waiting rooms and toilets on both sides and lifts between the footbridge and platforms.[4] The station is therefore fully accessible for disabled passengers. The entrance through the original building remains open. This opens onto Platform 3 which is mostly used by northbound services. Two bay platforms to the north of this are used by terminating trains off the various branches to {{stnlnk|Heysham Port}}, {{stnlnk|Barrow-in-Furness}} and the Cumbria Coast Line, {{stnlnk|Morecambe}}, {{stnlnk|Windermere}} and {{stnlnk|Leeds}}. Two through lines without platforms separate these three platforms from the remainder of the station; these are used by non-stop passenger services and freight trains. Beyond is Platform 4, which is the principal one used by southbound trains but as with platform 3 it can be used for trains going on both directions. This is an island platform with a second face, Platform 5, which can be used by both northbound and southbound trains or by terminating services. All platforms are signalled for arrivals and departures in either direction. Opposite Platform 5 are the remains of Platform 6 which has no track and has been out of use for many years. ServicesLancaster is served by several train operators. Virgin Trains operate express trains from London Euston to Glasgow Central using Pendolino trains, and from London Euston to Glasgow and Edinburgh via Birmingham New Street using Virgin Super Voyager or Virgin Pendolino trains. Early morning or late evening services to/from Edinburgh Waverley/Glasgow Central or Carlisle or Lancaster start or terminate at Birmingham New Street and peak services to and from London terminate and start at Lancaster or Carlisle. A few services to/from Crewe also terminate/start at Lancaster. These services normally use platforms 3 and 4.[5]TransPennine Express operate regional express services from {{stnlnk|Manchester Airport}} and {{stnlnk|Preston}} to Edinburgh and Glasgow via the West Coast Main Line using Class 350 EMUs. These services also use platforms 3 and 4.[6]Northern operate local & regional services along the Furness Line to Barrow-in-Furness and then onto {{rws|Carlisle}} via the Cumbria Coast Line, to {{rws|Windermere}} via {{rws|Oxenholme}} and the Windermere Branch Line (since the April 2016 franchise changeover), the Morecambe Branch Line to {{stnlnk|Morecambe}} and Heysham and the Leeds to Morecambe Line to {{stnlnk|Skipton}} and {{stnlnk|Leeds}}. These services are operated using DMUs of Classes 142, 150, 153, 156 and 185 (the latter subleased from former operator First TransPennine Express).[7] Through services use the same platforms as Virgin & TPE trains, whilst those starting & terminating here mostly use platforms 1, 2 & 5. {{MorecambeLancaster}}{{rail start}}{{rail line two to one|previous1={{rws|Oxenholme Lake District}} |previous2={{rws|Penrith North Lakes}} |next={{rws|Preston}} |route=Virgin Trains {{small|West Coast Main Line}} |col={{VWC colour}} }}{{rail line two to one |previous1={{rws|Oxenholme Lake District}} |previous2={{rws|Penrith North Lakes}} |next={{rws|Preston}} |route=TransPennine Express {{small|TransPennine North West (Manchester - Scotland)}} |col={{TPX colour}} }}{{rail line |previous={{rws|Carnforth}} |next={{rws|Preston}} |route=Northern {{small|Furness Line}} |col={{Northern colour}} }}{{rail line two to one |next=Trains reverse |previous1={{rws|Bare Lane}} |previous2={{rws|Carnforth}} |route=Northern {{small|Leeds to Morecambe Line}} |col={{Northern colour}} }}{{rail line |previous={{rws|Bare Lane}} |route=Northern {{small|Morecambe Branch Line}} |col={{Northern colour}} }}{{s-note|text=Future Services}}{{rail line two to one |previous1={{rws|Barrow-in-Furness}} |previous2={{stnlnk|Windermere}} |next={{rws|Preston}} |route=Northern Connect Barrow-in-Furness/Windermere - Manchester Airport |col={{Northern colour}} |lightcol={{Northern colour|Barrow-Manchester Airport}} }}{{rail line two to one |previous1={{rws|Oxenholme Lake District}} |previous2={{rws|Penrith North Lakes}} |next={{rws|Preston}} |route=TransPennine Express {{small|TransPennine North West (Liverpool - Scotland)}} |col={{TPX colour}} }}{{Historical Rail Insert}}{{rail line |previous={{rws|Hest Bank}} |route=Furness Railway |col={{temporary rail colour|964B00}} }}{{rail line |next={{rws|Galgate}} |previous={{rws|Hest Bank}} |route=London and North Western Railway {{small|Lancaster and Carlisle Railway}} |col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{Disused Rail Insert}}{{rail line |previous={{rws|Lancaster Green Ayre}} |route=Midland Railway {{small|"Little" North Western Railway}} |col={{MR colour}} }}{{rail line |previous={{rws|Ashton Hall}} |route=London and North Western Railway {{small|Glasson Dock Branch Line}} |col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{s-end}} See also{{portal|Lancashire}}
