Disused railway. Driffield junction to Malton. Part 8.1 Wharram to North Grimston.

The Malton and Driffield Junction Railway, later known as the Malton and Driffield branch was a railway line in Yorkshire that ran between the towns of Malton, North Yorkshire and Driffield in the East Riding of Yorkshire.[2]
The line opened on 13 April 1853. It became part of the North Eastern Railway (1854), then London and North Eastern Railway (1923), becoming part of British Railways in 1948. Passenger services on the line gained the nickname the Malton Dodger.[3]
Between the 1920s and 1950s the line saw use transporting chalk from the Burdale and Wharram quarries. Passenger services ended in 1950; the Burdale quarry closed in 1955, and the line closed in 1958.
For details of the Yorkshire Wolds Railway project to reopen part of the line please visit www.yorkshirewoldsrailway.org

Wharram towards Malton track bed is now a nature conservation area. Barbed wire and keep out private signs everywhere!😢

[@newmotorcycleguy]

@@roderickdavison3694 yes. I’ve since heard the story as to why. And it’s a shame it’s not a walk.

Buttresses to the Bridge at Wharram were taken down only about 10 years ago

[@newmotorcycleguy]

That’s interesting. I cannot find any photos of that bridge!

[@newmotorcycleguy]

If you have any or know of any please send to the email on the video. I’ve had some interesting things sent already 👍🏻
