Bare Lane railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Bare, which is a suburb of Morecambe in Lancashire. It is located on the Morecambe Branch Line from Lancaster to Heysham.
The station is served by Northern Rail local services, which operate as a regular Lancaster-Morecambe shuttle. There are also a few longer-distance services from Morecambe to Skipton and Leeds via the Airedale Line. In addition, the last train each weekday evening is a Transpennine Express service from Manchester Airport, which diverts from its usual route to Barrow-in-Furness. This service calls at Lancaster, Bare Lane and Morecambe, before reversing, calling at Bare Lane again, then rejoining the West Coast Main Line and continuing via Carnforth.
A level crossing with the public highway known as Bare Lane exists immediately to the west of the station controlled by the adjacent Bare Lane signal box, a fringe cabin to the Preston Power Area.
The old station building on the platform is now a private dwelling. It was auctioned to the public, and was featured on the BBC programme Homes Under the Hammer, a show about buildings which are auctioned to the public and redeveloped.
