Stainton Dale formerly Staintondale
(1885 - 1965)


The station was known as Staintondale when it opened on July 16 1885 until 1937 when it was renamed Stainton Dale and the station won a number of prizes for best kept station

There was a goods bay behind the Down platform at the north end and another siding. In later years a camping coach was sited in the goods bay

The goods service was withdrawn from the station on May 4 1964, 3 months before the freight service on the line was withdrawn

Despite being closed on March 8 1965, both platforms are extant and in good condition. The main station buildings all survive on the down platform and are now a private residence. A small brick building also survives on the station forecourt
