Forge Valley Line

Forge Valley Line

The Forge Valley Line was a 16 mile long branch of the North Eastern Railway between Seamer (near Scarborough, North Yorkshire) and Pickering. It opened in 1882 and closed in 1950, with the exception of a stretch from Pickering to Thornton Dale with remained open for quarry traffic until 1963.

The line did not pass through Forge Valley, but the station in the village of West Ayton was named after it to avoid confusion with another station - Great Ayton - already owned by the North Eastern Railway.

The line had no gradients of note, with only a few sections steeper than 1 in 100, and was single track throughout, with a passing loop at Snainton.
