Ripon
Once served by long distance trains, Ripon station closed to passengers in March 1967. The impressive 1848 building, the entrance to which is said to echo the classic lines of Ripon Cathedral, has since been converted to residential accomodation, seen here on 24 April 2009. A powerful lobby continues to press for re-establisment of train services to Ripon utilising much of the former 12 mile link from Harrogate, though any future station would be located further south nearer the town centre on the other side of the River Ure.
