Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox station

Appleby is a railway station on the Settle and Carlisle Line, which runs between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws via Шаблон:Rws. The station, situated Шаблон:Convert south-east of Carlisle, serves the market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland, Eden in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

The station was formerly known as Appleby West, with the older Appleby East station located nearby on the Eden Valley Railway. The buildings of Appleby East still survive.

History

Файл:Penrith, Clifton & Tebay Appleby RJD 058.jpg
A 1903 Railway Clearing House Junction Diagram showing (right) railways in the vicinity of Appleby. Present station is shown as MIDLAND STA.

The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders.[1] Opened by the Midland Railway at the same time as the line itself in May 1876, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was one of only two stations on the Settle-Carlisle line to remain open (Settle being the other) following the withdrawal of local stopping trains in May 1970.

When sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Regional Railways until the privatisation of British Rail.

The line through the station is often used as a diversionary route for the West Coast Main Line for both passenger and freight trains. A pre-nationalisation milepost on the southbound platform marks the station's location Шаблон:Convert miles from London (St Pancras) on the Midland Railway route via Leicester, Derby, Sheffield and Leeds.

Facilities

The main brick-built station building with booking office and waiting room is located on the northbound platform. This is the original building of 1876. A smaller brick-built waiting room, also of 1876, is located on the southbound platform. A period wrought iron lattice footbridge links the two platforms. Step-free access to both is also available (via the road underbridge & ramps to the southbound platform, direct from the station entrance for northbound travellers).[9] The booking office is open for 9 hours, six days per week (not Sundays) - tickets can be purchased from a ticket vending machine when the office is closed. Train running times are available via telephone and timetable posters, with digital information screens also in the process of being commissioned here (and at other stations on the line).

To the north are a number of engineers sidings (which once formed the connection to the Eden Valley branch to Warcop, Kirkby Stephen East and Шаблон:Rws) and an active signal box (which was repaired and refurbished in the autumn of 2019 to fix issues with rotten timbers and box foundations).

The main station building is Grade II listed;[10] the waiting room on the northbound platform and the station's footbridge are separately Grade II listed. The footbridge was moved to Appleby West from Mansfield Station in 1901.[11]

Services

Шаблон:Northern (train operating company) route 7 There is generally a service every two hours daily northbound to Carlisle and southbound to Leeds[12] - eight each way in total since the May 2018 timetable change, a modest improvement on the former schedule of seven northbound & six southbound trains on weekdays, plus an extra SX early morning departure to Kirkby Stephen only and an extra morning departure for Leeds on Saturdays that applied prior to May 2011.

Six services each way call on Sundays (including one service to and from Шаблон:Stnlnk introduced at the December 2012 timetable change, a second from Nottingham and returning to Шаблон:Rws was added in December 2018 but withdrawn in May 2019). The summer "DalesRail" service from Blackpool via Preston that formerly stopped here is not running in 2023. Northern hope to restore the service at a later date.

Accidents and incidents

  • Well-known railway photographer and enthusiast Bishop Eric Treacy died at Appleby railway station on 13 May 1978 after suffering a heart attack whilst waiting to photograph Evening Star, which was due to pass through the station on a rail tour. A plaque located on the down platform commemorates the spot.[13]
  • Services had been disrupted from 28 January 2016, due to a landslip at Eden Brows (north of Шаблон:Rws) which destabilised the embankment on the eastern side of the railway, where it passes through the Eden Gorge. An emergency timetable was put into operation, with trains from the south terminating or starting at Appleby, and buses running between Appleby and Carlisle.[14] Since 27 June 2016 some rail services were restored further north to Armathwaite, with bus links to and from Шаблон:Rws, Шаблон:Rws, Appleby and Armathwaite continuing to supplement the train service.[15] Repair works were due to continue until the end of March 2017.[16] These were completed on schedule, with the line reopening through to Carlisle on 31 March 2017.

Steam Specials

There is a water tank with water crane at the south end of platform 2 which is used to supply steam locomotives which stop with southbound trains during special excursions on the Settle and Carlisle line.
