History

The station opened on 30 May 1839 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 13 September 1965.[1][2][3] When open, it consisted of a single long island platform serving just two of the four lines, a similar configuration to that of neighbouring Ulleskelf. A large goods shed was also provided to the north of the station.

The platform and buildings were demolished after closure and no trace remains of the station today, save for a gap between the lines where the platform once stood.

gollark: They're apparently going to base it on stuff like möck exam results, how well your school did last years, coursework, other work, and what teachers said.
gollark: I should receive my guesstimated™ grades on 20 August 02020, Common Era.
gollark: Interestingly enough, here in the UK™, COVID-19 means general GCSE exams were cancelled, but they still want to give everyone grades without having to have summer/aütumn exæms, so they're basically just going to be guessing the grade you might have gotten.
gollark: And how well everyone else did, and stuff like the total marks on the exam.
