From the Wikipedia article
Appleby East is a closed railway station that was a stop on the Eden Valley Railway in Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumberland (now in Cumbria), England; it was located between Kirkby Stephen East and Penrith. The station was formerly one of two that served the town, the other being Appleby West on the Midland Railway's Settle to Carlisle line; the latter station is still open, albeit now simply called Appleby.

Background
History
Opened by the Eden Valley Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. Passing to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, it was then closed by the British Transport Commission in 1962. }}
Description
The station is fairly intact and is used currently by a scrap merchant. In 1995, the Eden Valley Railway Society was formed with the aim of restoring the line and reintroducing a train service. The society, now renamed the Eden Valley Railway Trust, operates a heritage service from Warcop station and is upgrading the track towards Appleby East for public service.
