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

Along with Wetheral, Brampton and Haydon Bridge, there is a 2-hourly service to both Carlisle and Newcastle with 2 services extended beyond Carlisle (one to Glasgow and one to Whitehaven). On Sundays, 6 westbound & 5 eastbound trains call (roughly every 2-3 hours).
