History

The station was opened in May 1985 by British Rail. The small signal box here supervises the junction and station area at nearby Saltburn and the freight line to Boulby as well as the adjacent level crossing.

Facilities

The station is unstaffed. A round of improvements made here in 2012 included new fully lit waiting shelters, renewed station signage and the installation of CCTV. Digital information screens have been installed, whilst the long-line Public Address system (PA) has been renewed and upgraded with pre-recorded train announcements; running information can also be obtained by telephone and timetable posters. Step-free access is available to both platforms.
