Cark and Cartmel railway station (oftern just Cark railway station) is a railway station that serves the villages of Cark, Flookburgh and Cartmel in Cumbria, England. It is located on the Furness Line from Barrow-in-Furness to Lancaster.
The station is architecturally interesting, with a main building (see image) erected by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway in 1857. The station had a particular importance, as it served Holker Hall, one of the many stately homes belonging to the Duke of Devonshire. Special waiting rooms were provided for him and his guests.
[edit] Service
Today, generally, only local services operated by Northern Rail stop at the station. However, a few longer-distances services operated by TransPennine Express also use the station.
