St Bees Railway Station serves the village of St Bees in Cumbria, England. St Bees is one of the few mandatory stops on this section of the line (along with Askam, Sellafield, Ravenglass & Millom) and as a result all trains call here. It is the location of the only passing loop on the lengthy single track section between Whitehaven and Sellafield and trains are often scheduled to pass here.〔Northern Rail timetable, Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness, 11/12/2011-13/5/2012〕 St Bees is famous for the rocky St. Bees Head, the starting point of the Coast to Coast Walk that runs from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. Many walkers alight at the station to start the walk. ==History== The Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway was authorised in 1847 for a line which would link the town of Whitehaven with the Furness Railway at . It was opened in stages, and the first section, that between Whitehaven and opened on 1 June 1849; St Bees station opened on 21 July 1849. The imposing station buildings, consisting of station-master's house, waiting rooms and ticket office, were built in 1860 by Mr J Townley of Whitehaven.〔''The Furness railway - A history'', by Michael Andrews.
