Long Marton railway station

Long Marton railway station was a railway station which served the village of Long Marton in Cumbria, England. Situated on the Settle-Carlisle Line, it was located south of Carlisle.

History

The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders and was opened along with the line in 1876 and closed on 4 May 1970, when the local passenger service over the line was withdrawn.

The main station buildings were located on the eastern, southbound, platform and were sold and converted into a private residence after closure. They currently remain in use as holiday accommodation. Both platforms have been demolished and removed.
