here as I don't seem to have heard of a Durranhill MPD. I have looked at a 1954 Ian Allan Midland book and can not find that name amongst the depots. How could this be? I see it closed in 1959 but looks as though we missed out. I suppose it was a depot for the renowned Settle and Carlisle line. We might have been tired after three sheds in the dark and were about 13 at the time. Fancy missing out on a Carlisle shed !
Durranhill was only used as a servicing/storage depot for a number of years
For information

Sorry it should be vol 2
Ps there were three other sheds in Carlisle up to 1923
