Sledmere and Fimber railway station was a railway station on the Malton & Driffield Railway in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
History
The station opened on 19 May 1853, and was sited between the villages of Sledmere and Fimber. It closed on 5 June 1950. The station was until March 1858 named "Fimber", before briefly becoming "Sledmere", until May 1859 when it became "Sledmere and Fimber" until final closure of the line.
Despite being very remote from both Sledmere and Fimber, the station was the most important on the MDR in terms of traffic and receipts.[1][page needed]
Preservation
In October 2008 the Yorkshire Wolds Railway Restoration Project was formed by a group of enthusiasts aiming to restore at least a section of the former M&D branch as a heritage tourist attraction.[2] They are restoring a section of the railway near to the original Sledmere and Fimber railway station.
