  Exhibition based on the film Brief Encounter having been filmed here (although in fact much of it was filmed at a studio many miles away). Lots of memorabilia from period in which film was set. However there was a cluttered appearance about it all and I was expecting a bit more. Having said that entry was by donation and the Centre is run by volunteers. With a bit of money and possibly a small entrance charge it could have been considerably improved. Just an opinion - money and volunteers are hard to come by these days!

  We loved the atmosphere and character and the whole experience, great museum, great cinema, great food in a great cafe with a fantastic aura, definitely worth a visit, some great events throughout the year and very professionally run, a real blast from the past, all the family will love it.

  This place really is worth a visit. Very clean, tidy, and well set out. The staff care, which is very evident in the attention to detail. Different nostalgic exhibits in several rooms. Lovely cafe serving good food and drinks. Check out their web-site of www.carnforthstation.co.uk for full details.

  Being entirely honest this is not really my cup of tea, however after visiting Brief Encounter we decided to pay a visit.I have to say it was well presented and actually very interesting. Take a look you may be pleasantly surprised as I was!

  Very atmospheric railway station, the clock where the characters in 'Brief Encounter' was filmed and the refurbished refreshment room where some of the film took place. Coffee & cakes are very nice too. Enjoyed it immensely!

  If you have ever watched Brief Encounters you will know the station. The big clock were they met still stands as does the platform cafe, its not quite the same but you can have a cup of tea and imagine .

  We came here for my Mum's interest in the film Brief Encounter which was filmed at this station. Lots of interesting memorabilia to peruse, steam engines if you time your visit right, a great gift shop, and the restaurant should not be missed. Andrew's gruff serving style belies his warm sense of humour, and his wife's cooking is excellent.Definitely worth coming to Carnforth for.
