History

Opened by the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, then run by the North Eastern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by the Intercity Sector until the Privatisation of British Railways.
