Harrington sign

Harrington station is most famous for its eponymous humps which assist with level boarding to trains from older platforms without having to rebuild the whole platform. It sits on the Cumbrian Coast line. The only substantial structure at the station apart from the platforms and shelters is the footbridge to which the station sign is affixed:

The entrance is to the east of the station and leads into a small waiting area with shelter, notices, and planters:
