Staveley railway station serves the village ofStaveley, inCumbria, England. It is a stop on theWindermere Branch Line, which connectsOxenholme andWindermere. The station is owned byNetwork Rail and is operated byNorthern Trains, which provides all passenger train services. Staveley was arequest stop until December 2012.
The station opened on 20 April 1847.[1] On 28 October 1887, John Studholme was using the foot crossing with the intention of getting a train to Windermere, when he was struck by an engine travelling at around 45 mph. He sustained a compound fracture to his right leg, and his collar bone was broken. At the Kendal Memorial Hospital, his leg was amputated the following day.[2]
Until the branch line was reduced to a single track in 1973, there were two platforms staggered either side of the road bridge at the east end of the station.
The station has a single platform. There is a single waiting shelter provided, along with digital CIS display, customer help point and a telephone to offer train running details. No step-free access is available, as the only entrance is via a staircase from Station Road.[3]
There is a generally hourly service between Windermere and Oxenholme Lake District, with some services extended to Manchester Airport.[4]
