Long Preston railway station serves the village of Long Preston in North Yorkshire, England. The station is 60 km (37½ miles) north west of Leeds on the Leeds to Morecambe Line and is managed by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services.
It is the last station before the Settle-Carlisle Line and the Leeds to Morecambe Line diverge.
The station was opened on 30 July 1849 by the "little" North Western Railway, later taken over by the Midland Railway. [Bairstow, p.96]
