There were two Scotby railway stations situated in the village of Scotby, two miles outside of Carlisle, England. Both have closed.
Newcastle and Carlisle Railway
This railway station (54°53′21″N 2°52′40″W / 54.8891°N 2.8778°W) was originally built to help accommodate the two tanneries located in the village. The station was closed in 1959, due to financial problems, some 4 years before the Beeching Axe.

Settle-Carlisle Railway
The Settle-Carlisle Railway station (54°52′59″N 2°52′14″W / 54.8831°N 2.8705°W) was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders.[1]
It was closed in February 1942. Since then, the station yard has been sold for housing, so the former station building and the former station master's house now form part of a row of houses which back onto the railway line, which is still in use.
