Barrow for Tarvin railway station Barrow for Tarvin railway station Barrow for Tarvin railway station was in Barrow, Cheshire, England. The station was opened by the Cheshire Lines Committee on 1 May 1875 as Tarvin & Barrow, but renamed in 1883 to better reflect its location (the village of Tarvin being more than 2 miles (3.2 km) away).

The sidings were worked from a signal box on the up (northbound) platform.
