Lazonby and Kirkoswald railway station is a railway station which serves the villages of Lazonby and Kirkoswald in Cumbria, England. It is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. The station was opened by the Midland Railway on 1 May 1876; originally named Lazonby, it was renamed Lazonby and Kirkoswald on 22 July 1895.[1] It is situated in the centre of Lazonby and, like many other stations on the line, was closed on 4 May 1970 when local passenger services between Skipton and Carlisle were withdrawn. The platforms and buildings survived however, and following several years of use by Dalesrail excursions it was reopened on a full-time basis in July 1986.[2]

Services

The station receives a similar level of service to neighbouring Langwathby i.e. six trains each way on weekdays & Saturdays (all of which now run to/from Leeds) and three on Sundays (four during the summer, including one 'Dalesrail' services to Preston and Blackpool).[3]
