Great Ayton is a railway station on the Esk Valley Line, which runs between Middlesbrough and Whitby via Nunthorpe. The station, situated Шаблон:Convert south-east of Middlesbrough, serves the village of Great Ayton, Hambleton in North Yorkshire, England. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

History

On 1 June 1864, the North Eastern Railway opened a short line which linked Шаблон:Stnlnk, on their route between Picton and Шаблон:Stnlnk, with Шаблон:Stnlnk on the Middlesbrough and Guisborough Railway – a subsidiary of the Stockton and Darlington Railway.

This link line was initially used solely by mineral trains. Passenger trains along the route began four years later,[1] and a station at Great Ayton was opened on 1 April 1868.[2]

The station is on the single track rail line between Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Stnlnk[3] and there are only a few trains per day. The goods yard at the station closed down in July 1965 along with many other stations on the Esk Valley line.[4] Until the 1950s, trains used to run from the station to Stokesley, Whitby Town and Шаблон:Rws but only the latter two destinations are now served.[5]

Next to Great Ayton station is the village garage and towing service. The station had, until 1934, a full station building complete with booking office and waiting room, this however was demolished to save costs.
