Opened in 1845 by the York & North Midland Railway, this was the junction where the line from York split. View north east along the current railway line to Scarborough. Just beyond the station, the line to Pickering and Whitby curved away to the left. At one time, this station boasted an overall roof but it closed to passengers as early as 1930.
