}}{{Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway}}Beckfoot railway station is a railway station on the 15" gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in Cumbria. It is situated within a {{convert|1/2|mi}} walk of the eastern terminus of the line, at Dalegarth station.[1]

The station is unstaffed at all times, and is only {{convert|20|m}} long. It can be accessed either by steps or from, the road which crosses the line, east of the station. It differs from the other stations in that passengers will only be picked up here on down journeys (Dalegarth-Ravenglass) and will only be set down here on up journeys (Ravenglass-Dalegarth). This is because the station is close to Dalegarth, and to save stopping for passengers completing very short journeys. There is a level crossing at the eastern end of the platform, marking the beginning of the private road from Beckfoot to Dalegarth cottages which runs for half a mile eastwards. This road is known as Beckfoot Lonnin and walkers can continue behind the Cottages at the end of the Lonnin up to the original 3' gauge railway station at Boot village.{{cite needed|date=June 2016}}

The station is {{convert|6.5|mi}} from Ravenglass and {{convert|1/2|mi}} from Dalegarth.

Accessibility

Due to the length of the platform, the railway are unable to accommodate wheelchair passengers, for health & safety reasons.{{cite needed|date=June 2016}}
