History
The station opened on 1 April 1858 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated at the level crossing east of the line at the north side of the village. The station was the first on the line to have two platforms, although the down platform was disused in 1914. The station closed to passengers on 3 April 1950 and closed to goods traffic on 9 March 1964.[1]

gollark: Maybe people will get sufficiently annoyed by this sort of practice to get it to stop at some point, or maybe we're doomed to a dystopia of social acceptability.
gollark: I was explicitly told at school recently not to say things people might disagree with online because people might take it into account on job/etc applications.
