Scorton railway station (North Yorkshire) was a railway station in what is now the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. The village of Scorton is situated around half a mile from the site of the station.
History
The station was once part of the Eryholme-Richmond branch line, built by the York and Newcastle Railway in 1846. Like most of the infrastructure of the line, Scorton station was built in the Tudor Style.
The Richmond branch line closed after being listed in the Beeching cuts in 1969.
Present
The station is now a residential property, the waiting room is now the lounge and the platforms are garden features.
Much of the trackbed to the west of Scorton station has been destroyed by sand and gravel quarrying.
