Wensleydale Railway


The WRA was established in 1990 to investigate the reinstatement of a 40 mile rail link between Northallerton (East Coast Main Line (ECML)) and Garsdale (Settle-Carlisle Line), which opened in stages over a 30 year period from 1848 (carrying both passengers and goods) and closed as a passenger service in 1954. By 1964, only 22 miles of track remained between Northallerton and Redmire; this section continued to support freight traffic (principally the movement of local quarried limestone to Teesside) until 1992.

The WRA's aims were threefold: to provide integrated transport facilities for both residents and visitors; to reduce car dependence and associated congestion and pollution; and to conserve the local rural environment. Over time, the former station sites at Aysgarth, Leeming Bar and Leyburn were acquired and in 2000 an initial agreement was reached with the former Railtrack to transfer the 22 mile residual line to Wensleydale Railway (WR) plc, a company specifically created by the WRA to manage and operate the railway.

In 2003, the line was formally handed over, enabling the commencement of construction works and ultimately the launch, on 4 July 2003, of a 12 mile passenger service from Leeming Bar to Leyburn.

On 1 August 2004, coinciding with the re-opening of Bedale Station, the service was extended westwards by some 5 miles to Redmire. Finghall Station was subsequently re-opened on 23 December 2004.

The two week (15-23 September 2005) trial Parry People Mover (PPM Car 50) 6 mile service from Leeming Bar to a temporary platform at Springwell Lane, Northallerton was a further important milestone in the extension strategy.

It remains the WRA's aim to support the reinstatement of the entirety of the line from Northallerton to Garsdale. At present we are working with WR plc to help make the case for re-building the South Curve into or as near as practicable to Northallerton Station and upgrading the existing track between Springwell Lane and Leeming Bar to passenger train standards.

If a business case can be made, then the whole 5 miles and 70 chains from Northallerton to Leeming Bar could be re-opened to regular service. However, a vast amount of work is underway to make the case and considerable funds are needed both to pay for the necessary studies and to build the link once approved.

The South Curve is included in Network Rail's Business Plan 2007 (Route Plan 9) as a "route enhancement aspiration" to give "new journey opportunities from Wensleydale Railway" to a "separate bay platform at Northallerton". Click here for more details.
