Brisco railway station (NY4313251259) in St Cuthbert Without parish, was situated on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway (the West Coast Main Line) between Carlisle and Penrith. It served the rural district of Brisco and Newbiggin Hall, Cumbria, England. The station opened on 17 December 1846, and closed in December 1852.
The station had two platforms and a station master's house. The station house remains, the platforms have been demolished. It proved to be unviable and the decision was made to close it in favour of Wreay railway station that was located nearby.
The next station on the line towards Carlisle was Carlisle and the preceding station was Wreay.
