Redmire station is the current terminus of our services. Located some 22 miles from Northallerton, it lies on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Originally trains ran on through the dales via Aysgarth, Askrigg and Hawes to meet the Settle-Carlisle line at Garsdale 18 miles away.

Right in the heart of the dale, the station offers some of the best views around and it is ideally placed for a walk further into Wensleydale or up to Bolton Castle.
