Kirkby-in-Furness is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Template:Rws and Template:Rws. The station, situated Script error: No such module "convert". north of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the village of Kirkby-in-Furness in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.
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 and hamlets.[1] The name was chosen almost at random by the train company for the station and was eventually used for the collection of villages.
In Victorian times, the station gained fame as the station with the longest platform seat in the country. However, this was removed many years ago.
Facilities
There 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] The station has (like others on the line) been fitted with a ticket vending machine, to allow passengers to buy their tickets 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, digital display screens and timetable posters.[4]
Services
Template:Northern (train operating company) route 6 There is a basic hourly service in each direction, north to Template:Rws, Template:Rws and Template:Rws, and south to Template:Rws. A few continue through to Template:Rws.[5] 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 Template:Ndashthis runs broadly hourly from mid-morning until the early evening (though some services only run to/from Millom).
