Guisborough railway station
- Guisborough railway station
Guisborough railway station was the terminus of the Middlesbrough and Guisborough Railway; it served the town of Guisborough. It was opened on 25 February 1854 and closed, along with the entire Nunthorpe-Guisborough branch, on 2 March 1964.
The platform was located inside a station building with a glass ceiling. The former station was lost to redevelopment works in 1967. The station entrance was on Bow Street, between its junctions with Fountain Street and Whitby Road. Rectory Lane now cuts directly through the station's former site.
Because the station was at the end of a branch, trains had to reverse out of the terminal before continuing along the NER line (the former eastern part of the Cleveland Railway) to Loftus, or to Saltburn (from 1878 to 1917 on the Priestcroft Curve or via Brotton).
