Bolton Percy railway station served the village of Bolton Percy, North Yorkshire, England from 1839 to 1965 on the York and North Midland Railway.

History

[edit]

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.[2]
