Barryborrow Station

Barryborrow is a station between Orrow and Allerton Park on the Barryborrow Network. The station is located in the small fictitious village of Barryborrow in Scotland and the station itself is partly based on Ravenglass Station in Cumbria.

Overview
The station has two staggered platforms in each direction, a footbridge linking these, signs, benches, bins and lighting. It also has a disused building next to the Newby bound platform, which has a small shelter attached to it. On the Orrow platform is a customer services building (currently closed as of July 2020 due to refurbishment works), a bus stop and a small car park for commuters to use.

Future
In July and August 2020 Barryborrow is set to have major works carried out to improve the station overall. New lighting and signage will be installed, along with improved platforms and a refurbished CS building. There are also rumours of a restaurant being added here during these works.

Services
Barryborrow is served by all stopping services and by express services rarely. The station is located nearby to Allerton Park, which sees almost all services stopping there. A typical shift would see a train every 4 or 5 minutes at the station.

Trivia

 * Barryborrow is a popular place for trainspotters due to the incredible views from the footbridge
 * It was originally the terminus of the line with the tracks only heading to the small depot. In January 2019 Orrow station was built due to popular demand and this relieved congestion from Barryborrow station so it could operate as a through line station as originally planned.
