Levisham
(1836 - 1965 1973)
The railway serving Levisham Station was originally opened by the Whitby and Pickering Railway in 1836. It was described as an isolated horse-worked railway and did
not have any stations
In 1845, the single line was converted to a double track steam-worked conventional railway and a farmhouse adjacent to the railway was used to provide a house for the 'station clerk' who was in charge of the station. The building, now Grade II listed, stands today encroaching onto the down (western) platform
The original platforms would have been provided at this time, and were short and low
The first steam train service started between Pickering and Levisham (only) on September 1 1846 using a single track. By the following year a second track had been laid
In 1876, a wooden building was attached to the station house on the down platform which was originally divided into a 'General Room' and a 'Ladies Room' and an adjacent brick-built Gentlemen's toilet was built at the same time
In 1917, the line from Levisham station southwards to Newbridge signal box became single track and the track was supposedly sent to France to aid the war effort but it was never replaced and the line remained single until it was closed March 1965
In 1973, the line between Pickering and Whitby was re-opened as a heritage railway and Levisham Station is one of the stops on the line
