ERYHOLME-RICHMOND BRANCH LINE


Nature taking over the trackbed between Moulton End and Scorton, May 2007

The 'Eryholme-Richmond branch line' was opened in 1846 by the York and Newcastle Railway Company. The start of the First World War saw the hasty construction of a sub branch line to Catterick Camp (now Catterick Garrison}. The line survived the Beeching cuts of the early 1960s only to succumb to closure in 1969.
