Background
History
The station was opened on 5 September 1887 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated at the end of an approach road that runs north from the B6341. To the west of the station was a goods yard, which had two sidings: one serving a cattle dock and the other serving a small goods shed. The goods traffic at the station was never large; only six wagons of livestock were loaded in 1913. The station was downgraded to an unstaffed halt on 23 August 1926 and closed to passengers on 22 September 1930. The name was changed to Edlingham Siding on 14 February 1938. The station was closed completely on 2 March 1953. <br /><small>Line and station closed</small>|route=Cornhill Branch|col= }}
