Cliburn railway station was a station situated on the Eden Valley Railway in Westmorland (now in Cumbria), England. It served the village of Cliburn to the south. The station opened to passenger traffic on 9 June 1862, and closed on 17 September 1956.
The station building and single platform were on the south side of the track, a signal box on the north side controlled the level crossing gates on the road to Cliburn. There was also a goods siding behind the station which was used to host a camping coach from 1937 to 1939 and was possibly visited by a coach in 1933 and 1934.[1]
After closure the station house became a private residence, the signal box also survives and has been restored as a holiday cottage as of 2012.[1] [2]
