Nunthorpe Railway Station

Nunthorpe railway station serves the town of Nunthorpe within the borough of Middlesbrough in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Esk Valley Line and is operated by Northern Rail who provide all of the station's passenger services.

History

Nunthorpe formed part of the Middlesbrough and Guisborough Railway line from Middlesbrough to Guisborough. In 1964, the line between Nunthorpe and Guisborough was closed, meaning Nunthorpe was no longer a junction and only a station on the line to Whitby via Battersby. The December 2007 timetable brought about significant changes, and the service is now better than it has been since the mid 1980s when there was an hourly Nunthorpe:Middlesbrough service including seven Whitby trains.
