Settle is also served by Giggleswick railway station under one mile to the west of the town. ==History and facilities== The station was opened with the line on 1 May 1876 and was originally named ''Settle New'' to distinguish it from the nearby station on a different route, which was renamed at the same time. Settle New was renamed ''Settle'' on 1 July 1879, by which time Settle Old had become Giggleswick. The railway station is located very close to the town centre and is staffed on a part-time basis.

The platforms are linked by an ex-North British Railway footbridge that was formerly located at station in East Lothian until electrification of the ECML made it redundant. It was then dismantled and re-erected here in 1993 to allow the old foot crossing at the north end of the station to be taken out of regular use. The old station signal box (abolished in 1984).〔(Settle - Carlisle timeline ) www.settlecarlislerailway.co.uk Accessed 2008-08-27〕 has been restored as a visitor attraction by the Friends of the Settle - Carlisle Line and is located behind the southbound platform〔(Visit Cumbria - Settle Station ) Visit Cumbria website.
