History
It is situated on the York to Scarborough Line and was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed on 22 September 1930. The station building is grade II listed.[1] Currently a private residence.
Reopening
There has been talk of reopening a station at Strensall as well as neighbouring Haxby for a number of years. These reopenings were part of the 2001 local transport plan.[2] But in 2010 even the more modest plan to reopen only Haxby was postponed pending further funding decisions.[3] Recently calls for a new rail link north of York station were reignited during the local elections of 2019 where Strensall was cited for its lost links and possible redevelopment.
