Drumburgh railway station was near the village of Drumburgh (pronounced "Drumbruff"[2]), Cumbria, England.
It was the junction station for the Port Carlisle Railway branch and the Silloth branch, serving both as a junction and transfer station and also serving the small village of Drumburgh.[3] The station closed on 4 July 1955;[4][5] nothing now remains of the station.[6] The line to Silloth closed on 7 September 1964 as part of the Beeching cuts. Port Carlisle was two and a half miles away by train and Glasson was one and a quarter miles away. The journey time was nine minutes, although Glasson was a request stop.[7]
