Rowntrees Passenger Service

The Rowntrees chocolate factory in York required many workers who needed transport to get to and from work from outlying areas such as Selby and Riccall.

In 1927 a train passenger service began to bring workers in by train to Rowntrees Halt.

Rowntrees Halt was accessed from the Scarborough line at the Burton Lane Box Junction.

The last train ran on 8th July 1988.
