Ferrybridge railway station

Ferrybridge railway station was a railway station located in Ferrybridge, West Yorkshire, England on the London and North Eastern Line.

The station was opened in 1882 by the North Eastern Railway,[1] three years after the completion of the Swinton & Knottingley Joint line via Moorthorpe on 1 May 1879 and closed in 1965.

Prior to the opening of Ferrybridge railway station, there was no direct link between York and Knottingley.

A link between Burton Salmon, Ferrybridge and Knottingley needed to be built, which was completed in 1850.

Services from Knottingley ended in 1947, but the station still received calls from Sheffield-to-York local trains until its closure in November 1965.
