Braystones railway station serves the villages of Braystones and Beckermet in Cumbria, as well as caravan sites and beach bungalows in the vicinity.

The station is an unstaffed request stop on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line. It is situated directly on the coast in a remote location. 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....".[1]

History

The Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway was authorised in 1847 for a line which would link the town of Whitehaven with the Furness Railway at {{stnlnk|Broughton-in-Furness}}.[2] It was opened in stages, and the first section, that between {{stnlnk|Whitehaven}} and {{stnlnk|Ravenglass}} opened either on 1 June 1849[3] or on 21 July 1849.[4]

The station buildings are still extant however are in private ownership. A bus-stop style shelter is provided on the single platform.

Service

Five trains call in each direction (on request) from Monday to Friday, with seven northbound and six southbound trains on Saturdays. There is no late evening service, but a limited Sunday service was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change;[5] the first to run over this section since 1976.
