Grangetown Railway Station (England)
Grangetown railway station served the township of Grangetown in the Borough of Redcar and Cleveland, North East England between 1885 and 1991 as a stop on the Tees Valley line.
History
The station opened as Eston Grange on 22 November 1885 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated about 1 km from the current Grangetown. The station's name was changed to Grangetown on 1 January 1902. Grangetown was one of the stations to have been adversely affected due to the closure of factories, having only a few passengers left. The station was closed to passengers on 25 November 1991. Its old island platform remains intact (as of April 2024), as it used for operational purposes by Network Rail as the location of a signal relay room.
