Wensleydale Railway Overview
Regular passenger services operate between Scruton and Redmire. With stops at Bedale and Finghall Lane with services to Leyburn to resume soon (Redmire station will then no longer be used). The station at Scruton is an award-winning recreation of how a small country station would have been in Victorian times. On most running days it is staffed by volunteers in period costumes who will guide you around the station. There is no car park at Scruton station. There are a number of short walks in the village.
Leeming Bar has been recently restored and it is now the hub of the railway. Bedale station is a short walk from the high street of this Georgian market town and Finhall Lane is a request stop. When they are finished at Leyburn station Redmire will no longer be used.
