Sedbergh railway station was in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, on the Ingleton Branch Line, about half a mile (1 km) west of Sedbergh, open to passengers from 1861 to 1954. Both the town and the station site now lie in Cumbria following boundary changes in 1974.
After formal closure to passenger traffic in February 1954, the line was still on occasions used for weekend excursions and to transport pupils to and from local boarding schools (including one in the town here). Goods traffic continued until 1 October 1964. The line was maintained as a possible relief route until April 1967 when the tracks were lifted.[3]
Current stateedit
The station building is now in private hands and can currently be hired as holiday accommodation.
Part of the site is used as a coal yard and the goods shed remains.[citation needed]
