Barton Hill railway station was a minor railway station serving the villages of Barton Hill and Barton-le-Willows in North Yorkshire, England. Located on the York to Scarborough Line it was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway.[1][2] It closed to passengers on 22 September 1930, but remained open for goods traffic until 10 August 1964.[1]
The level crossing originally carried the York to Scarborough road (later the A64), but this was diverted onto a bridge over the railway in the 1930s.[3]
The station was originally just named Barton, but the 'Hill' suffix was added in July 1853.[4]
