History

Stockton station opened on 4 October 1847 and served the villages of Stockton-on-the-Forest and Warthill in North Yorkshire, England.

In 1867 it was renamed, Stockton Forest, and renamed again Stockton-on-Forest soon after. On 1 February 1872 it was renamed Warthill station.[1]

Between 1922 and 1932 the station was also the southern terminus of the Sand Hutton Light Railway. This railway supplied the estate of Sir Robert Walker.[1]

The level crossing at Warthill station was the first in the UK to have its manually operated gates replaced by lifting boom barriers.[2]

It closed on 5 January 1959.
