Scott & Brassey is the Carlisle Station bar which is accessible to all due to an absence of ticket barriers. 8 cask lines are offered (1 has a guest from Carlisle Brewery, the rest from Lancaster, the host brewery). Two of the handpumps are for ciders, while a tap wall of 10 craft keg has recently been installed, plus there's your standard lagers and so on.

Good prices (£4.80 for my pint), good quality and, on a bright afternoon, a great place to neck my pint before the train south (handily departing from this platform).

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about 301 Miles from London

One of what was once four station buffets, this bar has an inconspicuous door from the platform but is surprisingly airy inside under a high vaulted ceiling. Indeed, it feels quite spartan, with a limited amount of semi-modern furniture and sparse decoration. The choice from the array of seven handpumps was restricted too, with just Box Steam Brewery's Piston Broke (£3.60) and a cider being served.

Aqualung . left this review about 301 Miles from London

For some reason I thought that this place was going to be a micropub but it certainly isn't. It's a Station bar / pub with a high ceiling and slightly Gothic interior. There is no TV apart from the screen showing the train departure times. A garden area with a fence and fake grass has been created on the station platform. Carlisle isn't a very much used station compared to larger cities so it wasn't that busy.
I noticed six hand pumps with 2 unused, 2 with ciders and Orchard Road Big Bear's Brown plus Three Friends Bad Uncle Barry. I went for the Orchard Road beer (£3.50) which was excellent. Sadly I forgot all about the CAMRA discount. This is a welcome addition to a city not noted for interesting pubs and is GBG 2020 listed.

As for the distance from London pedantry the current table 65 shows 299 miles from Euston to Carlisle via the WCML. There used to be a steam service from St Pancras called the Thames Clyde Express which travelled via the Easr Midlands to Leeds and then onto Carlisle via the Settle Carlisle line but as noted the distance is over 301 miles and slightly further if it stopped at Nottingham. What Pub suggests that it's Carlisle folklore!
