History edit

The station was opened by the Midland Railway on 1 May 1876. The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders.[1]

Originally named Lazonby, it was renamed Lazonby & Kirkoswald on 22 July 1895.[2] It is situated in the centre of Lazonby and, like many other stations on the line, was closed on 4 May 1970 when local passenger services between Skipton and Carlisle were withdrawn. The platforms and buildings survived however, and following several years of use by DalesRail excursions it was reopened on a full-time basis in July 1986.[3] The old goods shed and yard is now used by a local bakery.[4]

The southbound platform has a stone shelter and access ramps from the nearby road (so it is fully DDA-compliant). On the northbound platform, there is a bus-style waiting shelter. There is no ticket machine (though one is planned for the station by the end of 2019 as part of TOC Northern's wider programme of station improvements) or booking office, so tickets have to be bought in advance or on the train. Train running information is available via information boards and posters, digital information screens and a telephone helpline.

Accidents and incidents edit

  • Services between Appleby (later Armathwaite) and Carlisle were suspended from 9 February 2016, due to a landslip north of the station at Eden Brows. The station was the penultimate stop before the northern terminus of the Settle and Carlisle Line until 30 March 2017, when the £23 million project to repair the embankment and reinstate the track bed was completed by Network Rail.[10][11][12][13][14]
