Smardale railway station

The station opened to passenger traffic on 8 August 1861, and closed on 1 December 1952.

During the First World War from 20 September 1915 the station closed being used as a halt but unstaffed.

[1][2] In 2002 the preservation society Stainmore Railway Company (at Kirkby Stephen East) recovered two wagons which had derailed near the station and been left undisturbed for half a century.
