Leyburn station first opened to passengers on 19 May 1856, 150 years ago last year.

Leyburn station was one of the last along the line to lose its local goods service. On the front of the station building you can still see the old timber crane which was used to transfer goods from railway wagons to lorries.

Leyburn station carried many race horses, from the stables at Middleham to and from major race meetings.

The first floor rooms above the station offices used to house the board room of the Bedale & Leyburn Railway Company. What would the directors of that company have thought of the decline and rebirth of their railway!
