Workington North railway station was a temporary railway station in Cumbria, United Kingdom, constructed following floods which cut all road access to Workington town centre from north of the River Derwent.
[6] The construction of a temporary road bridge over the Derwent made vehicular access easier but the railway station remained open until 8 October 2010, when the last train called.
[4] The station featured two platforms linked by a footbridge, a waiting room, and a gravel car park.
[10] Once opened, the station was served by all existing trains and an additional hourly shuttle train (composed of a locomotive and at least three former inter-city mainline coaches) operated by Cumbrian-based Direct Rail Services (DRS) on behalf of Northern Rail—running northbound to Maryport and southbound to Workington.
There was generally an hourly service northbound to Carlisle and southbound to Whitehaven station with some trains going onwards to Barrow-in-Furness.
