Nethertown Railway Station serves the village of Nethertown in Cumbria, England. Nethertown railway station is a request stop on the Cumbrian Coast Line 39 miles (63 km) north west of Barrow-in-Furness.
History
The station was a passing loop until the 1970s, and was particularly busy with passenger traffic in the 1940-50s when it served the large contractor camp at Nethertown housing the workers building the Sellafield Nuclear plant. There was a waiting room, signal box and ticket office. The only facility now is a passenger shelter on the single platform.
Station
The station is directly on the coast in a spectacular and remote position overlooking the Irish sea from a small cliff. Pearson's 1992 railway guide is moved to comment, "The tiny halts at Braystones and Nethertown are as remote as anything British Rail has to offer....Nethertown station seems suspended between the cliff face and the sands".[1]
It is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services.
Services
Mondays to Saturdays, four trains per day call at the station in each direction, Carlisle northbound and Barrow-in-Furness southbound (if requested to do so). There is no evening or Sunday service.
