DescriptionParkhouse Halt - remains of platform (geograph 5689649).jpg
English: Parkhouse Halt - remains of platform This was a station on the Waverley railway line. It was built in 1941 for workers at RAF Kingstown (renamed RAF Carlisle after the war, latterly 14 Maintenance Unit). The railway and halt (with a footbridge over the track) can be seen in an aerial photo of the 14MU complex taken in 1946.
Parkhouse Halt was not intended for use by the general public. It closed along with the rest of the Waverley route in 1969.
Today a shared-use path occupies the former railway trackbed, running north to south through Kingmoor Nature Reserve.
