context_page_description: Harrington railway station serves the village of Harrington, Cumbria, England. It is a request stop on the Cumbrian Coast Line 35 miles south west of Carlisle. The station is owned by Network Rail and is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services.
  The station came to national prominence in 2008 when it was chosen as the initial site for the installation of an experimental ramp to raise the height of the platform to improve access to modern rolling stock. Christened the Harrington Hump, the ramp was built for £25,000 - 10% of the estimated cost of the conventional rebuilding that would have otherwise been required to make the platform fully DDA compliant. The modular design has since been deployed at several other rural stations across the UK where the cost of platform upgrades would otherwise have been considered prohibitive.
  The station is unstaffed, but now has been provided with a ticket machine to allow passengers to buy tickets before travelling. Shelters are located on both platforms, which are linked by a footbridge. Step-free access is available only on the southbound side.
