Location

Strensall railway station was a minor railway station serving the village of Strensall in North Yorkshire, England.

History

It is situated on the York to Scarborough Line and was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed on 22 September 1930. The station building is grade II listed. ^[1] Currently a private residence.

Reopening

There has been talk of reopening a station at Strensall as well as neighbouring Haxby for a number of years. These reopenings were part of the 2001 local transport plan. ^[2] But in 2010 even the more modest plan to reopen only Haxby was postponed pending further funding decisions. ^[3] Recently calls for a new rail link north of York station were reignited during the local elections of 2019 where Strensall was cited for its lost links and possible redevelopment.
