Background
History
The Team Valley Line of the North Eastern Railway, which connected Newton Hall Junction, near , with was authorised in 1848. However, the line was not opened until 2 March 1868, with the powers having been renewed in 1862. At first only freight trains used the route, but passenger services began on 1 December 1868, with the station opening on the same day. In the 1960s, the station was listed for closure as part of the Beeching Axe, which led to it being mentioned in the song Slow Train by Flanders and Swann. However, the station was saved, and still remains open today. In February and March 2022, tactile paving was added to the platform edges.
