Cumwhitton

Cotehill railway station was a railway station on the Settle-Carlisle Railway in England between Armathwaite and Cumwhinton. The line opened for passengers in 1876. The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders.The Ordnance Survey map published in the year 1900 shows the station serving the point at which a tramway from Knothill Plaster and Cement Works meets the Settle-Carlisle. The tramway continued from Knothill to Boaterby Quarry. According to Tyler, Knothill was one of the first Gypsum sites in CumbriaThe station is named after the nearest village, Cotehill, but this is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) away and extremely small. It is closer to the site of Englethwaite Hall which was built by John Thomlinson in 1879 but demolished by 1969, the site now being the location of a Caravan Club campsite. It is clear from the map that the sparse local population could not have sustained a railway station. In addition, the station is only 3.5 miles (5.6 km) from Armathwaite and very close to Cumwhinton, both of which had stations of their own. The tramway is absent from later maps, though its route is clearly visible as a track on the 1951 map. The station closed in 1952. Unusually for this line, the passenger buildings were demolished. The site remains clear so could in principle be re-used. One end of it is occupied by a communication mast. The stationmaster's house and railway workers' cottages are immediately adjacent to the Cotehill Viaduct, where the railway crosses High Stand Gill near where it flows into the Eden. The houses are privately occupied.

Heads Nook railway station served the village of Heads Nook, south-west of Brampton, Cumbria, England. The station was on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway. It was closed in 1967 as part of the Beeching cuts. After which the station was left derelict until 1975 when it was demolished by British Rail. Flanked by railway police at midnight, B.R. workmen set to work on the demotion as 30 residents watched in disbelief. There had been a campaign to have it reopened as an unmanned halt. Consequently this move was seen as very underhand by campaigners. When interviewed by a newspaper reporter at the time, Mr Bernard Widdowson, chairman of Heads Nook Villagers Association at the time, said they were angry because the demolition work had come at a time when their negotiations with British Rail and Cumbria County Council were at a peak. A British Rail spokesman said the demolition was necessary for safety reasons with the platform. If it was to be reopened, temporary wooden structures could be used. B.R. also said that the demolition work needed to be conducted at night, as that was the only time there were no trains using the line. The station lamps were sold off. Two of them can be seen in the village, one not far away from the station just over the railway bridge. Not much of the station can be seen anymore as nature has reclaimed the platforms for its own. Today they look like nothing more than leafy green banks in the railway cutting, which the casual observer would pass by without any further thought.
