These are seriously going to change the welcome to Carlisle, well if you turn left from the Station!
Thing is the stations getting rejigged too, so the entrance will be on the other side. Most passengers won't see the rejuvenated citadel area but the back arse of metal box and a car park where the baths used to be
Foot Passengers will still be using the current entrance though…
Decision on Fri for this project (See link).
Also found this Vid on YouTube of the Project:
The animation which shows a cloudless blue sky and pure white buildings makes Carlisle look like Athens or somewhere on Lanzarote..
They should reinstate the arch between the Citadels.
Turn left into that from the station, a great first impression of Carlisle, turn right onto Botchergate, and you'd get back on the train.

First impressions count and Carlisle’s gateway to the world is the beautiful station.Great scheme in my opinion
It’s great. This type of investment is LONG overdue but fair play and congrats to all involved.
Might need Barrah to build Subs to stop Putin, we should get some coin off that surely…..
I worked with an Architect, well over 20 years ago, when he tasked with locating the new University of Cumbria in the Courts Buildings. The Tutors Offices and meeting rooms were to be housed in Portland Square. In a few years we'll now get there, things take time up North.
I do like the artistic impression of the new buildings and particularly its location in the heart of the city. But the problem is the name, University of Cumbria. Soon Cumbria will cease to exist. This may also be a problem for Radio Cumbria.

I'm sure it will be designed to be carbon neutral, and at least one of the roofscapes appear to be green on those images.
Bring it on.
Bring it on.
In fairness, the original Blue Yonder pics/plans were of an exploratory nature, drawn up by a firm with a lot of experience in Stadiums (Frank Whittle Partnership).
They only spent approx £10k was it? Any more and you’d have cried they were wasting too much money!

The last Pic looks like its drawn from where the ramp down to the Station is?
That’s going to be some flash building folk see coming to/from Scotland on a Train!

First impressions count-for many visitors , it’s the first thing they will see in Carlisle.Great step forward
Also the Station is undergoing a lot of works in the next couple of years, no more cramped space on the front when replacement buses are on etc!
Well surely its going to enhance things,making the spot as attractive as possible is a ppsitove thing...just need to sort the Beriut part of Botch out next 🤣
