Barton Hill railway station

Barton Hill railway station was a minor railway station serving the villages of Barton Hill and Barton-le-Willows in North Yorkshire, England. Located on the York to Scarborough Line it was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed to passengers on 22 September 1930, but

remained open for goods traffic until 10 August 1964. The level crossing originally carried the York to Scarborough road (later the A64), but this was diverted onto a bridge over the railway in the 1930s. The station was originally just named Barton, but the 'Hill' suffix was added in July 1853.
