Sawdon railway station was situated on the North Eastern Railway's Pickering to Seamer branch line in North Yorkshire, England. It served the village of Brompton-by-Sawdon and to a lesser extent Sawdon itself. The station was named Sawdon to distinguish it from an existing station called Brompton (on the Leeds Northern Railway), near Northallerton, also in North Yorkshire.[1][2] The station opened to passenger traffic on 1 May 1882, and the last trains ran on 3 June 1950.[3] Sawdon was furnished with one platform, which had the station building on the northern side of the running line, and a small goods yard beyond the station building with an east facing connection to the main railway line.[4] The goods yard had a crane capable of lifting 1-tonne (1.1-ton), and was equipped to handle a variety of goods including live stock.[5]
The station has been restored completely, as holiday accommodation.[6]
