Bedale railway station
Bedale railway station is on the Wensleydale Railway and serves the town of Bedale in North Yorkshire, England.
==History==
First opened by the ''Bedale and Leyburn Railway'' in November 1855, the station very nearly did not get built at all as the initial plans for the Leeming to Leyburn route would have completely bypassed the town.〔(The Wensleydale Railway at Railways of Britain ) Retrieved 6 November 2008〕 This problem was subsequently corrected (following a major outcry in the locality) and by May 1856, passenger services had started running between Northallerton and Leyburn. These were subsequently extended to Hawes and Hawes Junction (later Garsdale) by the North Eastern Railway in 1878.
Although the section between Bedale and Leeming was doubled by the turn of the century, the station never received a second platform as the line became single again before passing through it and the adjacent level crossing. Services were always modest at best, with a basic timetable of between five and seven trains each way operating right up until the closure of the line to passengers in April 1954,〔Body, G. (1988), ''PSL Field Guides - Railways of the Eastern Region Volume 2'', Patrick Stephens Ltd, Wellingborough, ISBN 1-85260-072-1; p. 144〕 less than a decade after British Railways took over the line upon nationalisation of the UK network.
The station remained open for goods traffic for many years after the cessation of passenger trains (until 1982) and even then the platform and signal box survived (the latter to supervise the crossing and the last remaining passing loop on the otherwise single track route). Limestone trains from Redmire to the steelworks at Redcar ended in December 1992, but the line was subsequently retained for use by the Ministry of Defence to move military hardware to and from Catterick Garrison via a new transshipment facility at Redmire.
