Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether Network Rail has plans to install a shelter for passengers at the southern end of platform 1 of Penrith Station; and, if it has no such plans, why not.

There are currently no plans to install a shelter at the southern end of platform 1 as most of the station is covered by existing canopies. The decision to install a shelter would require agreement from Avanti West Coast as station manager and Network Rail as station owner. The Department expects Avanti West Coast collaborate with Network Rail to identify opportunities for investment, above and beyond essential renewals for station investments, where affordable.
