Brompton-on-Swale railway station

Brompton-on-Swale railway station

Brompton-on-Swale railway station was a railway station in what is now the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. It was built to serve the villages of Brompton-on-Swale and Catterick. The station was near the junction between the main branch line towards Richmond and the sub-branch to what is now Catterick Garrison.

History

The station was once part of the Eryholme-Richmond branch line, built by the York and Newcastle Railway in 1846. Like most of the infrastructure of the line, Brompton station was built in the Tudor Style.

The Richmond branch line survived the Beeching cuts of the early 1960s, but closed only a few years later in 1969.

Present

The station was demolished soon after the line it served was closed, although some evidence still remains. The site of the station now forms part of the primary municipal Waste management facility for the Richmondshire district.
