Rowrah railway station

In 1897 Marron Junction station closed, with trains running west through to Workington Main thereafter, a much better arrangement for most passengers.

In April 1910 six trains a day ran from Whitehaven to Rowrah via Moor Row, some continuing to Workington Main via Bridgefoot.

[11] Mineral traffic was the dominant flow, typically six loaded and six empty through to Workington, though this was subject to considerable fluctuation with trade cycles.

Stations and signalling along the line north of Rowrah were changed during the Joint regime to conform to LNWR standards.

The Gilgarron Branch which ran westwards from Ullock Junction closed east of Distington with the ironworks there in the late 1920s.

[15] The station closed on 13 April 1931 when normal passenger traffic ended along the line, though workmen's trains were reinstated in March 1940, only to be withdrawn a month later.
