On the weekend of 14-15 March 2021, the signal box that was the last remaining active structure of Beighton Station was demolished.

Signalling, and the control of the level crossing have now moved to be managed remotely (at York, I believe).

There was local opposition to the removal of the signal box but, despite proposals to move it to a new location, these proved too expensive or unworkable and it was removed. The nearby Woodhouse Junction signal box was demolished a week later.
