Crossgates railway station, Yorkshire

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Cross Gates railway station, Yorkshire, 2008
Thought to have opened in 1834 as "Crossgates" by the Leeds & Selby Railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway, the name changed to Cross Gates in 1877, but both versions appeared for many years.

View east towards Garforth, Selby and York. The station was rebuilt in 1902 with four tracks, only the two outer ones being next to platforms. The two inner tracks were removed c.1970, as were the extensive platform canopies. The vegetation between the tracks was replaced by a fence around 12 years after this image was taken - see SE3634 : Cross Gates railway station, Yorkshire for a 2022 view from a similar camera position. The booking office is at street level, out of view to the right of this image. In the foreground, a lattice footbridge existed until 2007 and the abutments can still clearly be seen.

The junction for the line to Wetherby (1876-1964) could once also be clearly seen in the distance from this viewpoint, but is now overgrown.
