Embleton
Station House at Embleton, between Bassenthwaite Lake and Cockermouth, has long outlived the little single platform station which closed in 1958, eight years before the line from Keswick. There was no passing loop here but there was a staffed level crossing and tokens were exchanged for the single line sections on either side of Embleton. The A66 trunk road now uses much of the trackbed between Keswick and Cockermouth and the station itself disappeared completely under the new road.
