Background
History
The station was opened as Grange on 1 September 1857 by the Ulverstone and Lancaster Railway. The station was renamed several times, alternating between Grange and Grange-over-Sands, the current name being settled on by the London Midland and Scottish Railway in October 1930. Two camping coaches were positioned here by the London Midland Region from 1954 to 1964, and four coaches from 1965 to 1970. At one time the line carried a very heavy industrial traffic to support the iron and steel industry of the Furness area, including coke from County Durham.
