Jervaulx railway station was a railway station in Newton-le-Willows, North Yorkshire, England. Originally named after this place, it was renamed after Jervaulx, about 4 mi (6 km) to the southwest and known for its former abbey, to distinguish it from Newton-le-Willows in Merseyside. Reputedly the Marquess of Aylesbury was upset by many of his guests arriving at the wrong destination.[1]
