Irton Road railway station
Irton Road railway station is a railway station on the 15 in gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria. The station is located from Ravenglass and from Dalegarth for Boot, and trains take 20 minutes to reach their destinations in either direction from this station.
At most weekends and high-season, it is manned by volunteers from the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, who sell tickets from the booking office shelter and can give live train-running information, but are unable to carry out these when trains are due into the station, as they are carrying out safety-critical tasks. This is the only intermediate station where the crossing loop is in the station, consequently there are two platforms. It is imperative to inform the guard that you are crossing at this location, because unless it is known that there are passengers to cross from the second train arriving, to depart on the first train that arrived, the first train that arrived will depart before the second train has completely stopped, making the transfer of passengers from the later-arriving train onto the earlier-arriving train unworkable.
==History==
Originally named ''Hollowstones'', after the adjacent farm, it opened to passengers in 1876, when the line was still in its 3' gauge form. Closed in 1913 and reopened in 1916 as the new minimum gauge line was created, it is now the main train crossing point on the line, hosting a passing loop with room for long length trains and a siding which is now used by the permanent-way department.
