Location

Clifton & Lowther railway station was a station on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway (L&CR) south of Penrith, near the village of Clifton. Although it was the original terminus to cross Pennines rail traffic on the Eden Valley Railway, it was rapidly bypassed by a new line and junction. The station, which was on the West Coast Main Line, was treated as a private stop by the Earls of Lonsdale.
