HistoryOpened by the Leeds Northern Railway, as part of the North Eastern Railway it was absorbed into the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, closing under that management.[2] The site todayThere have been two stations at Arthington. The original, which opened in 1849, was sited south of the main road (Arthington Lane) near to the Wharfedale Inn. The second station was built to serve the Otley branch which opened in 1865, superseding the first station.[3] The former station is now a private residence. The two sides of the railway triangle that lay to the north of the station have been dismantled (closed 22 March 1965). Trains still pass the eastern part of the triangle on the Harrogate Line. Proposed StationA station has been proposed to re-open on this site to alleviate road traffic into Leeds along the parallel A roads.[4] West Yorkshire Combined Authority declined to push forward with the plans for Arthington Parkway (as it is named in a 2014 Feasibility study). Reasons cited are the severity of the gradient at the site, insufficient car parking space and lack of suitable road infrastructure for a Park and Ride facility.[5] Local campaigners refute these claims citing that there was a station on the site before and that the report wrongly places the station on the old trackbed of the now closed Otley railway line.[6] {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line one to two|previous=Horsforth|next1=Weeton|next2=Pool-in-Wharfedale|route1=North Eastern RailwayLeeds Northern Railway |route2=North Eastern Railway Leeds and Thirsk Railway |col={{NER colour}} }}{{s-end}} References1. ^Passengers No More by G.Daniels and L.Dench second edition page 17 2. ^{{cite book|last1=Young|first1=Alan|title=Lost Stations of Yorkshire - the West Riding|date=2015|publisher=Silver Link|location=Kettering|isbn=978-1-85794-438-9|pages=43–49|url=http://nostalgiacollection.com/book.php?isbn=9781857944389|accessdate=12 January 2016}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Cobb|first1=M H|title=The railways of Great Britain - a historical atlas|date=2003|isbn=0711030030|page=396|edition=2|url=http://www.railwaysofgreatbritain.com/the-atlas|accessdate=12 January 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Jack|first1=Jim|title=‘Reopen Horsforth and Arthington stations to ease traffic,’ says Wharfedale MP|url=http://www.ilkleygazette.co.uk/news/11168877.___Reopen_Horsforth_and_Arthington_stations_to_ease_traffic_____says_Wharfedale_MP/|accessdate=12 January 2016|work=Ilkley Gazette|date=24 April 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=New Railway Stations in North and West Yorkshire Feasibility Study|url=http://www.wymetro.com/uploadedFiles/WYMetro/Content/news/projects/projectdetails/New%20Stations%20Study%20Report%20v1.0%20FINAL%20Redacted.pdf|website=WYMetro|accessdate=12 January 2016|page=22|date=14 October 2014}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Campaigners vow to fight for station|url=http://www.ilkleygazette.co.uk/news/11774381.Campaigners_vow_to_fight_for_station/?ref=ar|accessdate=12 January 2016|work=Ilkley Gazette|date=5 February 2015}} Sources
