Nunnington railway station was located about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) west of Nunnington (and about the same distance east of Oswaldkirk) in North Yorkshire, England.

History

It opened on 9 October 1871,[1] and the regular passenger service ceased on 2 February 1953, although goods traffic and special passenger trains ran until the line closed completely on 10 August 1964.[2]

The station building is now a private house and can still be seen from the Nunnington to Oswaldkirk back road, just before the cutting at Caulkeys Bank.
