Roose is a railway station on the Furness Line, which runs between Barrow-in-Furness and Lancaster. The station, situated 1+3⁄4 miles (3 km) east of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the suburb of Roose in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.
Facilities[]
Facilities here are very basic. The station is unstaffed and there are no permanent buildings present, other than standard shelters.[1] Travellers towards Lancaster and Manchester benefit from a ticket vending and collection machine, though travellers for Barrow and the Cumbrian Coast are urged to buy tickets in advance or from the Northern Railway App to avoid penalty fares.[2] As of Spring 2021, train running information is provided by digital display, telephone and timetable posters. Step-free access to the platforms is available via a ramp on the south side from the nearby road bridge that also acts as the link between the two and directly from the adjacent road on the northbound side.[3][1]
