Wigton railway station
Wigton railway station serves the town of Wigton in Cumbria, England. The railway station is a stop on the Cumbrian Coast Line, south west of .
It is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services and is one of the mandatory stops on this part of the line (along with , & Whitehaven). The two side platforms here are slightly offset and linked by a footbridge. Like most stations on the route, it is unstaffed (and has been so since 1969), so passengers must purchase their tickets from the conductor on board the train. There are waiting shelters on both platforms, but the surviving station buildings are no longer in railway use.
==History==
It was opened by the Maryport and Carlisle Railway in 1843〔(Old Cumbria Gazeteer - Wigton Station )''Portsmouth University''; Retrieved 2013-10-17〕 following the completion of the route from Carlisle and would act as a temporary terminus until the section onwards to was finished two years later. It subsequently become the junction station for the eastern end of the ''Bolton Loop'' line to Mealsgate from 1878. This portion of the route did not prove profitable and the one daily return passenger train operated over it was withdrawn by the M&C in 1921.〔(Cumbria Railways - The Bolton Loop ) www.cumbria-railways.co.uk; Retrieved 2013-10-17〕
Goods facilities at the station were withdrawn by British Rail in October 1970, though a private siding for the nearby plastics factory remains in place (this has however been disused for some years). The station signal box meanwhile is still operational and acts as a 'fringe' to Carlisle PSB.
