Wilstrop railway station was a railway station that served the village of Copmanthorpe, North Yorkshire, England from 1865 to 1964 on the Harrogate line.

History

The station opened in June 1865 by the North Eastern Railway.The station was situated at the level crossing on a lane off the A59. A goods siding was installed southeast of the level crossing, complete with a shelter over the track. There was no lighting at the platforms due to the trains calling at the station in daylight hours no matter what season it was, so lighting was unnecessary. The last passenger train called at the station on 25 April and closed to passengers on 1 May. The station closed to goods traffic on 4 May 1964.
