It was opened in 1871, closed to passengers in 1958 and then closed to goods services in 1964; ^[1] the station building is now a private dwelling. In 1983 the Selby Diversion was opened which led to the closure of the railway line through Riccall; ^[2] the former trackbed is now the route of the A19 around the village. ^[3]
