History

The station opened on 2 December 1867 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated on the east side of Ebchester Hill on the B6309. The site of the station had a large station yard and worker's cottages. It closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 21 September 1953. The cottages have survived today.[1][2]
