| It lay on a section between Harrogate and Northallerton, which was part of the main route from Leeds northwards. |
| It had been a very busy line, served by trains running between Liverpool and Newcastle, and until the 1960s was served by named expresses including the Queen of Scots Pullman, which ran between King's Cross and Glasgow. |
| The Harrogate to Northallerton section lost its passenger services in March 1967, and the line closed completely in September 1969, despite a vigorous campaign by local campaigners, including the city's MP. |
