    Goathland Railway Station - Harry Potter

    Goathland Railway Station

    (4 reviews)

    If visiting Whitby or the area..take a trip on a steam train and visit here…read more A station people recognise without often knowing why. Goathland railway station is a typical countryside station, almost unchanged since its construction in 1865. The station has been restored to represent an NER country station post World War 1 circa 1922. The station is popular with tourists due to its appearances in Yorkshire TV's Heartbeat and the first of the Harry Potter films. The station has a newly refurbished Tea Room which is inside a Goods Warehouse. The station also has a traditional camping coach, which is let for holidays. This station (originally known as Goathland Mill) is on the deviation line opened by the North Eastern Railway in 1865 to avoid the cable-worked Beck Hole Incline, which was part of the original 1836 Whitby and Pickering Railway route. Known as Aidensfield in Heartbeat and Hogsmeade railway station in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this English village is a popular tourist destination.the line was filmed for Harry's journey. The engine used was originally GWR Hall Class 4-6-0 No.5972 Olton Hall. Built at Swindon in 1937, o.5972.Olton Hall was one of a class of 330 versatile mixed traffic locomotives, designed by Charles Collett for the Great Western Railway. No.5972 is now set to find new fame as the Hogwarts Express locomotive in the Warner Brothers' film of Harry Potter stories Renamed Hogwarts Castle and repainted into fictitious Hogwarts Railways bright red livery, No. 5972 appeared in the first session of filming at Goathland, on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The original Goathland station was located at the head of the incline, where there are still some Y&NM cottages, together with a single W&P one.The station buildings were to the design of the NER's architect Thomas Prosser and were very similar to those being built concurrently (by the same contractor, Thomas Nelson) on the Castleton to Grosmont line. The collection of buildings is very little altered since they were built - the last recorded change (apart from NYMR restoration) being in 1908. Goathland village is perhaps much better known as Aidensfield in Yorkshire TV's Heartbeat than its real name.

    Drove up there last year to visit the birthplace of Count Dracula and the home of Captain Cook,…read moreworth the visit. The station isn't that bad and doubles as the filming location for HeartBeat and The Royal. Worth the trip, so much to do too, the Yorkshire Moors are just breathtaking!
