View from the Wensleydale Railway The Wensleydale railway is a preserved railway in North Yorkshire. The line currently runs 22 miles (35 km) between Northallerton on the East Coast Main Line and Redmire. This makes the line the longest heritage railway in Great Britain. Occasional freight services and excursions travel the full length of the line, however regular passenger services currently only operate between Leeming Bar and Redmire, a distance of 16.5 miles (27 km). Formerly the line ran from Northallerton to Garsdale on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. However the track between Redmire and Garsdale was lifted and several bridges and viaducts were demolished in the past.

Finghall Station Currently trains operate on a request stop basis whereby if there are passengers on the platform then the train will halt but if there are no passengers the train will continue through without stopping. Passengers wishing to alight at Finghall must inform a member of the train crew and they will take action to ensure the train stops at the station. Only two or three out of the ten trains a day actually halt at Finghall and often this is just to ensure good timekeeping.
