Kents Bank railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Kents Bank in Cumbria. It is located on the Furness Line from Barrow-in-Furness to Lancaster.
The station building was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin in 1865 for the Furness Railway.
Generally, services that are operated by Northern Rail mainly stop at this station. However, a few longer-distances services operated by First TransPennine Express also use the station.

“When women can support themselves, have entry to all the trades and professions, with a house of their own over their heads and a bank account, they will own their bodies and be dictators in the social realm.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
—Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
