Bowes railway station was situated on the South Durham & Lancashire Union Railway between Barnard Castle and Kirkby Stephen East.
History
The line was opened on 26 March 1861 when a mineral train was run, the line opened to passengers on 8 August 1861 following an opening ceremony the day before.Template:Sfn[1]
The station served the village of Bowes. The station was host to a camping coach in 1933 and from 1937 to 1939 and possibly also in 1934.Template:Sfn
The station was closed by British Railways North Eastern Region on 22 January 1962.Template:Sfn
The site today
The station buildings are now (2023) in an extreme state of dereliction. A large farm shed covers a portion of the platforms and yard.
The signal box, which for many years after closure was hidden away inside the farm shed, was dismantled and is in storage.[2]
The trackbed westwards of the station (towards Stainmore Summit) is covered by the re-aligned A66 road.
The station is due to be demolished as part of the dualling of the A66.
