Naburn

The much modified former station building at Naburn once stood alongside the East Coast Main Line, but nowadays serves as a hostel, with the trackbed now part of a long distance walking and cycling route. The 11 mile section of the ECML between Chaloner's Whin Junction and Selby was abandoned in 1983 with the introduction of a new route to the west, avoiding the subsidence problems of the Selby coalfield as well as the bottlenecks caused by the swing bridges at Naburn and Selby.
