Bedale Railway Station

First opened by the Bedale and Leyburn Railway in November 1855, the station very nearly didn't get built at all as the initial plans for the Leeming to Leyburn route would have completely bypassed the town. 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 by the North Eastern Railway in 1878.
