History

The Leeds Northern Railway line between Northallerton and Шаблон:Rws was opened in 1852;[1] the station opened in 1854.[2] It was equipped with three sidings to the south of the level crossing: a weighbridge, a coal drop, and a private siding.Шаблон:Sfn The principal freight from the station was hay and clover.Шаблон:Sfn The level crossing is still in operation,[1][3] though the station buildings were demolished in the early 2000s.[4]

Passenger trains in 1906 amounted to six stopping trains either way. Most ran between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws; the remainder were services between Шаблон:Rws and Hartlepool.[5]

The station was closed on 6 September 1965.Шаблон:Sfn It was the last intermediate station still in operation between Northallerton and Eaglescliffe[6] (although Шаблон:Rws railway station reopened in 1996).[7]

The railway is still in operation[8] for passenger trains to and from Sunderland (Grand Central), and to and from Middlesbrough (TransPennine Express). The line is also used for freight trains between the northeast and the south.[9]

1924 accident

On 17 March 1924, a train between Northallerton and West Hartlepool derailed after travelling through a crossover at Шаблон:Convert. Men were working on the line and crossings to replace worn out tracks and fittings. Unwittingly, the gauge at the crossover was too wide and the last four coaches of the train derailed, with some mounting the platform on the opposite side of the line.[10][11]
