Crimple Junction [Station]
As southbound trains leave the Crimple Viaduct they negotiate a 20mph curve round towards Pannal. This is the point where the Harrogate to Wetherby and Church Fenton line went straight ahead, and almost immediately into a tunnel. That line closed in 1964 but the junction was also the site of short lived Crimple station, which closed in May 1869 after only eighteen months. A house now occupies the site but is screened by trees and the tunnel portal is hidden. This view from a Leeds bound train on 2nd June 2022.
