Andrews railway design to be built) and included his favoured bay window that afforded the Station Master a good view of the platforms and the line.

[7] The 1892 map also shows a building on the south bound platform, close to the end by the level crossing; probably containing a waiting room.

A signal box that controlled the level crossing was located on the opposite side of the road to the station building, in the corner of the goods yard.

This was a faster route to London from the north, and as a result East Coast Main Line traffic no longer passed through Copmanthorpe.

[7] Between 1900 and 1904 the North Eastern Railway quadrupled the line between Chaloners Whin Junction and Church Fenton.

The brick bridge pier between the two new tracks also had a passenger access ramp on the south side down to the island platform.

[citation needed] A new goods yard was provided on the east side and separated from the running lines by a timber fence.

The entrance to the goods yard is controlled by a new signal box, called Copmanthorpe, located to the south of the island platform and between the two new tracks.

This box was sited adjacent to the south east corner of the modern Dikes Lane housing estate, a field at the time of the 1909 OS map.

In 1983 the Selby Diversion was built and joined the York to Normanton line at Colton Junction, 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Copmanthorpe.

As part of the electrification of the East Coast Main Line in 1988, the overbridge was replaced at a higher level to provide clearance to the overhead wires.

The original 1839 station building and Moor Lane crossing keepers house are still extant as private residences, and the 1904 goods shed is used by a plant hire company.
