History

The Lancaster and Carlisle Railway built the Ingleton Branch Line from the existing Ingleton Station to. By the time the branch was completed in 1861, the L&CR was operated by the London and North Western Railway.
After formal closure to passenger on 1 February 1954, the line was still on occasions used for weekend excursions and to transport pupils to and from local boarding schools. Goods traffic continued until 1 October 1964. The line was maintained as a possible relief route until April 1967 when the tracks were lifted. The station had a goods shed, weighing machine and cattle pens. The station building survives as a private dwelling.
