Staveley railway station serves the village of Staveley,in Cumbria,England. It is a stop on the Windermere Branch Line,which connects Oxenholme and Windermere. The station is owned by Network Rail and is operated by Northern Trains,which provides all passenger train services. Staveley was a request 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]
