Kendal railway station serves the market town of Kendal, in Cumbria, England. It is a stop on the Windermere branch line, which runs between Template:Rws and Template:Rws. The station is owned by Network Rail and is operated by Northern Trains, which provide all passenger services.
History
The station opened on 28 September 1846[1] as the temporary terminus of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. Through trains operated from 20 April 1847[2] when the Kendal and Windermere Railway opened its line to Windermere.
The second platform at the station was taken out of use when the line was singled in May 1973. A car park now occupies the site of the demolished Oxenholme-bound platform, signal box and goods depot. The signal box was dismantled after closure and rebuilt at Template:Rws on the Settle-Carlisle Line. The former station building survives, but no longer forms part of the station itself; it is now in private commercial use.
Facilities
The station has one platform, which has a stone-built shelter. It is unstaffed; passengers must buy tickets in advance or from the conductor on board the train. Train running information is provided via digital CIS displays, a customer help point and timetable posters. Step-free access is available from the four-space car park and main entrance to the platform.[3]
Service
The station is served by one train per hour in each direction between Windermere and Oxenholme, with some services continuing on to Template:Rws. Passengers for most other destinations must change at Oxenholme.[4]
