Rillington railway station was a station serving the village of Rillington on the York to Scarborough Line. It was also the junction station for the line to Whitby and was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed to normal passenger traffic on 22 September 1930, but was used by special trains until the 1960s[1]. The station has now been demolished.
Though the station served Rillington, it was located almost 1 mile (1.6 km) away from the village.
