Kendal railway station is a railway station serving Kendal in Cumbria, England. It is on the Windermere Branch Line from Oxenholme to Windermere. It is operated by First TransPennine Express. It only has one platform, which has a stone-built shelter. Before the singling of the line in May 1973, the station had a second platform. A car park now occupies the site of the demolished Oxenholme-bound platform, signal box and goods depot. The signal box was dismantled after closure and rebuilt at Kirkby Stephen on the Settle-Carlisle Line. The station is unstaffed: passengers must buy tickets in advance or from the conductor on board the train.
The station is served by one train per hour in each direction between Windermere to Oxenholme, with some services running direct to Manchester Airport. Passengers for most other destinations must change at Oxenholme.
The former station building survives but no longer forms part of the station itself. Services are operated with Class 185 Pennine units since the incorporation of the route into the TransPennine Express franchise.
