Harrogate (Brunswick) railway station served the town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England from 1848 to 1862 on the Leeds and Thirsk Railway.

History

The station opened on 20 July 1848[1] by the Leeds and Thirsk Railway. The station was situated on the north side of Trinity Road. The station was named after the nearby Brunswick Hotel. There were two sidings to the west, one serving a small engine shed. When the North Eastern Railway opened the current Harrogate station, this station was considered obsolete and closed on 1 August 1862; it was going to be retain for goods traffic but this idea was short-lived.[2]
