Parton Railway Station serves the village of Parton in Cumbria, England. The railway station is a stop on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line 38 miles (61 km) south east of Carlisle, operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. Immediately north and south of Parton, the line runs almost on the seashore, at the foot of cliffs which require supervision and occasional stabilisation to prevent landslides; sea erosion is also a danger, and 10 m.p.h speed restrictions are in force over much of the section between here and Harrington, which is restricted to a single line. There was a signal box immediately to the north of the station that formerly controlled this section, but this was closed & demolished due to its deteriorating condition in May 2010 (control passing to the adjacent box at Whitehaven Bransty).[1]
Service
It has generally an hourly service to Carlisle and Whitehaven, with ten services per day continuing south to Barrow-in-Furness and beyond. On Sundays, four trains run each way, to Carlisle and Whitehaven only.
