From the Wikipedia article
Kirkby Stephen East railway station was situated on the South Durham & Lancashire Union Railway (known as the Stainmore Line) between Barnard Castle and Tebay. It served the town of Kirkby Stephen in England and was a junction station for the Eden Valley Railway. The station re-opened to traffic as the base of the Stainmore Railway Company in August 2011. The new layout of the station consists of two platforms, one of which is partly covered by the remaining train shed roof, and a bay platform between them, situated in the opposite direction to the original station layout.

Background
History
The station opened to passenger traffic on 8 August 1861 and closed on 22 January 1962. Despite its rural location, this was a busy station in its heyday. Starting in 1932, two expresses to Blackpool – one from Newcastle and the other from Darlington – both stopped at the station for about five minutes, before continuing towards Blackpool. The return trips also passed through later in the day. The station was also used by the Durham Miners special between 1932 and 1936.
