History

Bardon Mill railway station in 1962

The Newcastle and Carlisle Railway was formed in 1829, and was opened in stages.[1] The section of that line between Haydon Bridge and Greenhead was opened on 18 June 1838,[2] and Bardon Mill, which opened the same day,[3] was one of the intermediate stations on that stretch.[4]

Services

There is an infrequent service (seven trains each way, mainly during peak periods) eastbound to Newcastle and westbound to Carlisle. There is also a limited service on Sundays.
