It reopened temporarily on 2 July 1956 before closing permanently on 6 March 1972.
Although called Blencow the station was actually situated on the edge of Newbiggin and was over from Blencow. Possible alternative names for the station before it was opened were Newbiggin station and Dacre & Greystoke station The station could not be named Newbiggin as there is another Newbiggin on the Carlisle - Settle Railway a few miles away.
