History

The station opened on 5 September 1887 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated at the end of an approach road that runs north from the B6341. To the west of the station was a goods yard, which had two sidings with one serving a cattle dock and the other serving a small goods shed. The goods traffic at the station and was never large; only six wagons of livestock were loaded in 1913. The station was downgraded to an unstaffed halt on 23 August 1926 and, after it closed to passengers on 22 September 1930, the name was changed to Edlingham Siding on 14 February 1938, before finally closing completely on 2 March 1953.[1]
