Abbey (RWS)

Abbey is a station and small town on the Peel Godred Branch Line, located around 2 miles north of Cronk. It is an unstaffed halt serving the nearby Cronk Abbey School.

History
Abbey was built in 1923 as a private station. The land from the Abbey estate needed for the railway was given by the owner, Albert Regaby, Viscount Harwick and Chairman of the NWR, on the condition that a station was provided for his family and tenants.

Abbey Station is normally unstaffed, but at the beginning and end of each term, when special school trains are run, staff are drafted in to cope with the subsequent workload.
