It was opened in 1871, closed to passengers in 1958 and then closed to goods services in 1964;[1] the station building is now a private dwelling. In 1983 the Selby Diversion was opened which led to the closure of the railway line through Riccall;[2] the former trackbed is now the route of the A19 around the village.[3]
