Old and new photos of Wetherby Railway Station and Wetherby Race Course Railway Station


The railway line through Wetherby was one of the first lines to go following the 1963 Beeching report The Reshaping of British Railways.

The photo to the left shows the little known Wetherby Racecourse Railway Station - how things have changed! See larger image below - and what the same place looks like today.

We also show photos of the main railway station in Wetherby, together with modern day views of the same places.

The next photo shows a steam locomotive just leaving Wetherby Railway Station and heading north. It may be going to Harrogate or through Wetherby and around past Wetherby Racecourse (where there was another Station - see below) and on to Tadcaster.
