    I don't know the actual location, but it would seem to be for a location at Carlisle. 2053 was Carlisle Citadel, 2054 was Carlisle New Yard Down Departure Sidings, and 2056 was Carlisle London Road High Yard.

    Thankyou Andy , I would assume 2055 would be something like Carlisle Carriage and Wagon ?
