Sign, Dent Station A slightly misleading sign at Dent station. Yes, the station is the highest station in England at one thousand one hundred and fifty feet above sea level. However, when this photograph was taken in 1980 it was not as it was closed! BR shut the station in 1970 as part of its deliberate, coordinated and synical running down of the Settle and Carlisle line dragging it, we all thought, towards inevitable closure. However, as we are all aware this did not happen with Dent station being reopened on 14.08.86. The sign exists today but has been redesigned and now having the actual altitude as part of the wording.
