Muncaster Mill railway station
Muncaster Mill railway station is a railway station on the gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in Cumbria, England. The station is located 1 mile from Ravenglass and 6 mile from Dalegarth, at the point where the A595 coast road crosses the line. It is situated on the bank of the River Mite and adjacent to Muncaster Mill, formerly a watermill but now a private house, from which it takes its name.
Facilities
There is a passenger shelter and disabled-access toilet at the station. There is a siding built into the platform surface, which was formerly used for storage of permanent way engineers' rolling stock, and by shuttle trains on Gala event days. However, the siding has since been disconnected from the main line, by the removal of the points. Although previously staffed by a station master, the station (in common with all intermediate stops on the railway) is now unmanned, with trains stopping by request.
Accessibility
The platform is not long enough to accommodate step-free access to the disabled carriages, which are normally located towards the eastern end of each train set, on both the eastbound and westbound journeys.
