Aberford railway station

Aberford railway station served the village of Aberford, West Yorkshire, England, from 1837 to 1924 on the Aberford Railway.

History
The station opened on 25 February 1837 by the Aberford Railway. Early services were carried by horse and wagon, also known as the 'High Flyer'. When George Hudson removed the passenger services on the Leeds and Selby Railway, horse-drawn buses were used instead to get to Leeds, forcing the passenger services to be withdrawn on the line in 1840. When Hudson lost power in 1850, the services resumed. The first steam locomotive was used on the line in 1870. The station closed in March 1924.
