Long Preston railway station serves the village of Long Preston in North Yorkshire, England. The station is 37.5 miles (60 km) north-west of Leeds on the Leeds to Morecambe Line and is managed by Northern who provide all passenger train services.


It is the last station before the Settle-Carlisle Line and the Leeds to Morecambe Line diverge at Settle Junction to the north of the village. Facilities at the station are somewhat basic - the original wooden station buildings were demolished in the early 1970s and there are now just simple waiting shelters on each platform.


It is unstaffed and passengers must buy their tickets on the train. There is level access to the southbound platform only - the opposite side has a ramp, but this is quite steep and is not recommended for use by disabled travellers.[1] Train running information is provided by telephone and timetable posters.


The station was opened on 30 July 1849 by the "little" North Western Railway, later taken over by the Midland Railway.[2]

Services


Generally, there is a train every two hours from Long Preston southbound towards Leeds (twelve departures per day in total) and northbound. All services from Leeds to Lancaster (seven per day) stop there, along with three Leeds to Carlisle trains. There is also one train each day that runs north only as far as Ribblehead, whilst three Lancaster trains continue to Morecambe.[3]


For many years on Sundays, only Leeds - Morecambe trains stopped at Long Preston. However, since 2009, certain Carlisle trains have also served the station on Sundays. As a result, there are now five trains to Lancaster and two to Carlisle northbound and eight trains to Leeds southbound (the two morning/early afternoon services on the Morecambe line that formerly ran in summer only up until 2010 now run throughout the year). The station also now has a single afternoon departure that runs through to Sheffield and Nottingham in the new summer 2018 timetable.
