Kents Bank is a railway station on the Furness Line, which runs between Barrow-in-Furness and Lancaster. The station, situated 17+1/4 mi north-west of Lancaster, serves the village of Kents Bank in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

History

The station building was designed in 1865 by the Lancaster-based architects, Paley and Austin, for the Furness Railway. Though it remains, it is in private residential use.

Facilities

The station is unstaffed but now has ticket machines available, allowing passenger to buy before boarding. Shelters are located on each platform, along with digital information screens and a PA system. Access to the northbound platform is via a user-worked barrier level crossing, so whilst it has step-free access disabled travellers should exercise caution when crossing the line.

Services

Kents Bank is served by Northern Trains, who operate a basic hourly service with some two-hour gaps between and. Certain northbound trains are extended to Whitehaven and, and several southbound trains are extended to and. A (mostly) hourly service runs each way on Sundays.
