History

Curthwaite station was opened by the Maryport & Carlisle Railway in 1843. At grouping in 1923 the M&CR became a part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. It was closed by the British Transport Commission in 1950 (as an economy measure), two years after the railway system was nationalised.

The main Carlisle-Maryport line (completed in 1845) remains open and forms part of the Cumbrian Coast Line between Carlisle and Barrow in Furness.

The station had two through platforms, with a station building that survives as a private house and also a water tower that survives and is now a listed building. The platforms have been demolished.
