Appleby Railway Station

Appleby has a railways station that is located on the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway. This is a perfect location to see the steam trains that often pass on Saturdays, and a quick trip on the settle line, will allow an exploration of the surrounding areas.

Settle railway station serves the town of Settle in North Yorkshire, England. It is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. It is situated at the southern end of the Settle-Carlisle Line 41.5 miles (67 km) north of Leeds.

The station dates from May 1876 (when it was opened along with the line) and is staffed on a part-time basis. There are a range of facilities available (including waiting room, toilets and a souvenir shop) in the main buildings on the southbound platform. The platforms are linked by an ex- North British Railway footbridge that was formerly located at Drem station in East Lothian until electrification of the ECML made it redundant. It was then dismantled and re-erected here in 1993 to allow the old foot crossing at the north end of the station to be taken out of regular use.

The old station signal box was abolished in 1984 and has been restored as a visitor attraction by the Friends of the Settle - Carlisle Line - it is located behind the southbound platform, and is open to the public at certain times.
