Maryport railway station
Maryport Railway Station serves the town of Maryport in Cumbria, England. The railway station is a stop on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line south west of Carlisle. It is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. It is unstaffed (there are no longer any station buildings, just simple waiting shelters) and passengers must buy their ticket on the train or at an automatic ticket machine outside the platform.
The station is somewhat unusual in that it consists of a single bi-directional platform rather than the usual two side platforms used elsewhere on the double track sections of the Cumbrian Coast line. Southbound trains have to cross over to the northbound line to reach the platform before returning to the correct line south of the station. This can cause delays if two trains are scheduled to call in quick succession or if one or more trains are running late. Network Rail plans to address this issue as part of a future resignalling scheme〔(Network Rail Lancashire & Cumbria RUS Summary - Network Rail Media Centre ) Accessed 2008-09-01〕
==History==
Two railway companies originally served the town - the Maryport and Carlisle Railway (M&C), which opened the line to Carlisle in stages between 1840 & 1845 and the ''Whitehaven Junction Railway'' which ran southwards to Workington & Whitehaven and opened in 1847. The latter company was taken over by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) in 1866, but the M&C remained independent right up until absorption into the LMS in January 1923.〔(Maryport & Carlisle Railway History )〕
