Parton Railway Station is an unstaffed, request-stop railway station serving the village of Parton in Cumbria, England. It is a stop on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line 61 km (38¼ miles) south east of Carlisle, operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. Immediately north and south of Parton, the line runs almost on the seashore, at the foot of cliffs which require supervision and occasional stabilisation to prevent landslides; sea erosion is also a danger, and 10 m.p.h speed restrictions are in force over much of the section between here and Harrington, which is restricted to a single line. There is a signal box immediately to the north of the station.

ervice

It has generally an hourly service from Carlisle and an infrequent service southbound to Barrow-in-Furness and beyond. On Sundays, three trains a day run to Carlisle and to Whitehaven.
