The line then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, closing under that management.

The original, which opened in 1849, was sited south of the main road (Arthington Lane) near to the Wharfedale Inn.

The two sides of the railway triangle that lay to the north of the station have been dismantled (closed 22 March 1965).

Trains still pass the eastern part of the triangle on the Harrogate Line.
