Dent railway station is a Grade II listed[2] station which serves the villages of Cowgill and Dent in Cumbria, England. It is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services; it is situated {{convert|51|mi|km|0}} northwest of {{rws|Leeds}}. LocationDent village is approximately {{convert|4.8|mi|0}} by road to the west, and {{convert|400|ft|abbr=on}} below the height of the station, with Cowgill being the nearest small village, located around half a mile away. At an altitude of {{convert|1150|ft|abbr=on}} and situated between Blea Moor Tunnel and Rise Hill Tunnel immediately to its north, Dent is the highest operational railway station on the National Rail network in England. Dent Station buildings are now privately owned and are available to rent as holiday cottage accommodation.[3] During the 1970s the station was rented out to Barden school in Burnley as an outdoor pursuits centre, providing accommodation for up to 15 pupils whilst they carried out various courses ranging from pot holing, caving, to geology and map reading.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} There are stone-built passenger waiting rooms provided on both the northbound and southbound platforms. Access to the southbound platform is, somewhat unusually, by an unguarded barrow crossing at the south end of the station for foot passengers to use with care (a 30 mph permanent speed restriction for non-stop trains through the station is enforced for this reason). Disabled passengers should not use the southbound platform without assistance.[4] Like most stations on the line, there are no ticket machines available and so travellers must buy on the train. Train running information can be obtained by telephones on the platforms or from information posters. Old wooden snow fences are still in place on the eastern side of the station (see image). ServicesDent railway station is on the historic Settle-Carlisle Line, with services to Leeds and Carlisle. The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders[5] and opened in 1877 and originally closed in May 1970 but was reopened by British Rail in 1986 following a campaign to maintain regular stopping services along the line. On weekdays there are five trains in each direction, with six each way on Saturdays and three each way on Sundays.[6] In addition, DalesRail services operate on summer Sundays from Blackpool North and Preston to Carlisle, with one journey in each direction. Northbound trains terminated at either Appleby or Armathwaite until the end of March 2017, as the Armathwaite to Carlisle section was closed whilst the damaged embankment at Eden Brows was repaired. Services through to the terminus at Carlisle resumed on 31 March 2017. From the May 2018 timetable change, the service is to be increased with eight northbound and six southbound calls on weekdays and six each way (including the DalesRail service) on Sundays.[7] References1. ^1 2 {{Butt-Stations|page=78}} 2. ^1 {{National Heritage List for England|num=1383851 |desc=The old station at Dent Railway Station |access-date=6 January 2017 |mode=cs2}} 3. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.dentstation.co.uk| title=Dent Station on the Settle to Carlisle Railway| accessdate=5 February 2008}} 4. ^Dent station facilities National Rail Enquiries; Retrieved 28 November 2016 5. ^{{cite news |author= |title=Notes by the Way. |url=http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000228/18841101/022/0005 |newspaper=Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald |location=British Newspaper Archive |date=1 November 1884 |access-date=12 July 2016 |via = British Newspaper Archive |subscription=yes }} 6. ^GB eNRT, May 2017 Edition, Table 42 7. ^[https://be803fe5c416e39d38ae-aa21086260d3bd4e072d597fe09c2e80.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/images/timetables/2018-05/summer-2018-timetables/Northern-7-0418-12pp.pdf Northern Rail Timetable 7 - Leeds to Carlisle, Leeds to Morecambe & Heysham Port, 20 May to 8 December 2018]Northern website; Retrieved 7 May 2018 External links{{Commons category|Dent railway station}}{{stn art lnk|DNT}}
