Railway station in Cumbria, England

Whitehaven railway station is a railway station serving the coastal town of Whitehaven in Cumbria, England. It is on the Cumbrian Coast line, which runs between and It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

The first station at Whitehaven was opened on 19 March 1847 by the Whitehaven Junction Railway (WJR) as the terminus of their line from Maryport. This station lay to the south of the present station, with the main entrance on Bransty Row (at ). On the southern side of the town, the first section of the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway (W&FJR) opened on 1 June 1849 from a terminus at Whitehaven (Preston Street) to Ravenglass, but there was no connection between this line and the WJR suitable for passenger trains. In between the two stations stood the town centre, and to the east of that Hospital Hill, so a tunnel long was built beneath the latter, being completed in July 1852. In 1854, the W&FJR passenger trains began using the WJR station at Whitehaven (Preston Street becoming a goods only station). In 1865, the W&FJR was absorbed by the Furness Railway (FR), and in 1866, the WJR was absorbed by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR).

There is generally an hourly service northbound to Carlisle and southbound to Barrow in Furness (no late evening service operates south of here). A few through trains operate to/from Lancaster via the Furness line. Train operator Northern introduced a regular Sunday through service to Barrow via the coast at the May 2018 timetable change the first such service south of Whitehaven for more than 40 years. Services run approximately hourly from mid morning until early evening, with later trains starting and terminating here. This represents a major upgrade on the former infrequent service of four per day each way to/from Whitehaven only that previously operated. A Sunday service over the whole length of the Coastal route operated on a one off basis on Sunday 27 September 2009 (the first time a revenue earning passenger Sunday service operated south of Whitehaven since May 1976) to celebrate the ACoRP Community Rail Festival. An improved Sunday service has been introduced as part of the current Northern franchise.
