Long Marton railway station was a railway station which served the village of Long Marton in Cumbria, England. Situated on the Settle-Carlisle Line, it was located 27¾ miles (44 km) south of Carlisle[1]. Built by the Midland Railway, it was opened along with the line in 1876 and closed on 4 May 1970[2], when the local passenger service over the line was withdrawn.
The station buildings were sold and converted into a private residence after closure and remain in use as such today. However the platforms were demolished (as were those at New Biggin and Culgaith) in the early 1970s, which precluded the station from being considered for reopening when the local service over the line restarted in 1986.
