![Looking east, towards Bedale, from the end of Leyburn station platform on the eve of closure of the goods yard facilities. The signal box shown here was demolished and the pointwork removed after the yard closed although a plain line remained in place for the Redmire traffic that continued for some years. [See image 19458] for the view in the opposite direction on the same day. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 27/05/1982]](/images/27000/27817.jpg "Leyburn")
![The closure notice has been posted, for the goods sidings at Bedale and Leyburn and is seen here in the last week before withdrawal in 1982. Although Leyburn yard was empty on this date that at Bedale had a considerable amount of traffic even in its last week [See image 19393]. Thankfully the line itself remained open for Redmire limestone (and military) traffic long enough to take it into the preservation era as the Wensleydale Railway. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 27/05/1982]](/images/27000/27818.jpg "Leyburn")
