Wensleydale Railway, Leeming Bar Station The station was opened by the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway (a constituent company of the North Eastern Railway) in 1848 as the terminus of their branch from Northallerton. The line was later extended westwards to Leyburn by the Bedale and Leyburn Railway seven years later. The station was originally called Leeming Lane due to being sited on a level crossing on the Great North Road. However, in July 1902, it was renamed Leeming Bar. The station was closed to passengers in April 1954 when the Northallerton to Hawes service fell victim to road competition, but reopened as part of the Wensleydale Railway in the summer of 2003. It is now home to the staff offices and engine shed where the railway’s locomotives and rolling stock are maintained and restored. The red-brick station building is Grade II-listed (List Entry Number: 1150916 <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1150916?section=official-list-entry" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1150916?section=official-list-entry">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Historic England).
