South Milford railway station

South Milford railway station serves the villages of South Milford and Sherburn in Elmet in North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the Selby Line 13 miles east of Leeds.

The station was opened in 1834 as Milford railway station on the Leeds and Selby Railway. The name was changed to South Milford station in 1867, however, some early timetables refer to the station as Milford Bridge. The Leeds and Selby Railway was leased to George Hudson, which allowed him to divert all traffic via his line through Methley. As such, between 1848 and 1850, no railway traffic moved west of Milford, and even by 1850, this was restarted as only local traffic. During the early years of operation at Milford, the platforms at the station were known to be causing problems for passengers as they were only 6 inches above the level of the rail lines.
