History
As a significant agricultural market town in the Vale of York, Easingwold recognised the need for a railway connection at an early date. The first attempt was made in 1836 when Easingwold attorny, Robert Gill, attempted to get the Great North of England Railway Act's York - Darlington line to pass through Easingwold. This was the first of various schemes to fail in the period 1836-1864. The final scheme was proposed in 1880 with a letter from Mr F.E.Rookledge to the Yorkshire Post and Intelligencer that proposed a branch line from Alne on the NER's East Coast Main Line. This caused a number of leading landowners and residents to get together over the next few years, resulting in the Easingwold Railway Act of 1887 and the incorporation of the Easingwold Railway Company on 23rd August 1887.
After funding was secured, construction was contracted to the ominously named Death & Co. This company failed during construction, and a second unknown contractor completed the railway in the summer of 1891. The official opening day was Saturday 25th July 1891, and appears to have been a large event for the residents of Easingwold.
Although the Easingwold would have been an ideal candidate for the Light Railways Act, it opened five years before the Act was passed in 1896. In fact, the Easingwold acted as a form of prototype for the new Act, and was carefully analysed when the Light Railways Act was being written. Later in 1928, the Easingwold applied to become a Light Railway under the Acts of 1896, 1912, and 1921; and was successful.
Early passenger services consisted of nine daily trains each weekday in each direction. At first, third class tickets were issued on all trains, although in 1893 this was reduced to first and last trains only. Third class 'Cheap Day Return' tickets were issued for Saturday services during the 1920s. This was accompanied with a weekday reduction of services to eight daily trains in 1921, and six in 1927. World War 2 led to further reductions and by October 1946 there were only return trips a day. Passenger services finally ended on 29th November 1948.
