Lockerbie railway station lies on the West Coast Main Line between Carlisle and Carstairs in the town of Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
Lockerbie station, until recently, was one of only two stations in the UK (the other being Long Buckby) to be operated by a train company whose services did not call at that station. It is owned by Network Rail, and managed by First ScotRail but all services are provided by either Virgin Trains or First TransPennine Express. However following the recent changes in franchises, there are several other stations that are similarly managed.
