Kirkby-in-Furness railway station serves the village of Kirkby-in-Furness in Cumbria, England. The railway station is a request stop on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line. Some through trains to the Furness Line stop here. It is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services. The name Kirkby-in-Furness did not exist until the creation of the railway line. The village in fact is an amalgamation of six smaller villages/hamlets.[1] The name Kirkby was chosen almost at random by the train company for the station and was eventually used for the collection of villages. In Victorian times it gained some fame as the station with the longest platform seat in the country. This though was removed many years ago. FacilitiesThere are no longer any permanent buildings at the station apart from a footbridge and shelters on each platform (that on the northbound one being the more substantial).[2] No ticket facilities are available, so they must be purchased on the train or prior to travel.[3] Step-free access is available to both platforms, though this requires the use of a barrow crossing for northbound passengers and so care must be taken when used. Train running information is provided by telephone and timetable posters. ServicesThere is a basic hourly service in each direction, northwards to {{rws|Millom}}, {{rws|Whitehaven}} & {{rws|Carlisle}} (one train terminates at Sellafield) and southwards to {{rws|Barrow-in-Furness}}. A few continue through to {{rws|Lancaster}} and {{rws|Preston}} (two on Saturdays).[4] The last two evening northbound trains terminate at Millom. A Sunday service (the first for more than forty years) was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change - this runs broadly hourly from mid-morning until the early evening (though some services only run to/from Millom).
