Kirkbride railway station
Kirkbride was a stone and brick built railway station with a single platform on the Carlisle and Silloth Bay Railway on the Solway Plain in Cumbria, England.
The station opened in August 1856 with the line's extension to Silloth. The North British Railway leased the line and the station in 1862 and subsequently took it over in 1880. In 1923 the station became part of the London and North Eastern Railway and became part of British Railways after nationalisation in 1948. The station closed with the line on 7 September 1964.
The platform has been demolished, but in 2013 the station house still existed as a private residence.

New Dykes Brow railway station
New Dykes Brow was an early, short lived railway station near Fingland, Cumbria on the Carlisle & Silloth Bay Railway & Dock Company's branch from Carlisle to Silloth
The station served the small hamlet of Fingland and its rural surrounds, though its name is unclear from this distance in time.
Its timetable entries show trains calling on Saturdays only (Market Day). It only appeared in public timetables from November 1856 to October 1866.
In 1866 no evidence of the station could be seen on OS maps,. It is possible that this was a "use it or lose it" stopping place where no platforms were built.
The line through the station site closed on 7 September 1964.
