History

The station opened on 20 April 1847.^[1] On 28 October 1887, John Studholme was using the foot crossing with the intention of getting a train to Windermere, when he was struck by an engine travelling at around 45 mph. He sustained a compound fracture to his right leg, and his collar bone was broken. At the Kendal Memorial Hospital, his leg was amputated the following day.^[2]

Until the branch line was reduced to single track in 1973, there were two platforms staggered either side of the road bridge at the east end of the station.

Facilities

The station has a single platform. There is a single waiting shelter provided, along with digital CIS display, customer help point and a telephone to offer train running details. No step-free access is available, as the only entrance is via a staircase from Station Road.^[3]
