Description
The first station here, known as Pool, opened with the Leeds & Thirsk Railway in 1849 but was replaced a little to the south by the triangular junction station seen here when the NER opened their Otley Branch in 1865; it was re-named Arthington as a station was opened on the Branch in Pool. The station along with the line to Otley closed in 1965 but Leeds-Harrogate services still pass the site. A feasibility study was carried out in 2014 to re-open a station here but did not get the go-ahead.
