The Yorkshire Dales Railway was a branch line linking the town of Skipton with the villages of Rylstone, Threshfield and Grassington in North Yorkshire, England, also known as the Grassington Branch. It had two stations, Grassington and Threshfield and Rylstone, connecting to the Skipton to Ilkley Line at Skipton. The line closed to passengers in 1930, but the section up to Swinden Quarry remains in use for the transport of aggregates.
