The Harrogate to Church Fenton Line was a railway line opened by the York and North Midland Railway between 1847 and 1848 linking Harrogate and Church Fenton. ==History== The ''Harrogate to Church Fenton Line'' is a former railway line in West Yorkshire, which ran from Harrogate to Church Fenton. It was staked out by York and North Midland Railway in September 1845 and the line opened from Church Fenton to Spofforth on 10 August 1847. The line from Spofforth and Harrogate was completed on 20 July 1848. In 1901, a new south-to-west curve was built at Wetherby to enable trains from Harrogate to Wetherby to use the Cross Gates to Wetherby Line without reversal. Following this, a new passenger station serving Wetherby was opened on the Cross Gates to Wetherby Line and the Wetherby station on the Harrogate to Church Fenton Line became goods-only. In April 1942, the Thorp Arch circular railway was opened to serve Thorp Arch Royal Ordnance Factory, which produced munitions. Trains accessed this single-track railway from the Harrogate to Church Fenton Line near Thorp Arch station 〔28 Days Later. ''Map of Royal Ordnance Factory No8.'', ().
