Grinkle formerley Easington
(1883 - 1939)
The station opened on December 3 1883 as Easington and was renamed Grinkle on April 1 1904
Originally there was a single platform station on the ‘up’ side of the single line. A loop with a second platform made of cinder and old sleepers was added about 1906
The station had a brick building incorporating the stationmaster’s house with a wooden waiting shelter on the ‘up’ platform
There was a small goods yard with a siding situated to the west of the station on the ‘down’ side of the line, this served as a coal depot
The station closed during the winter of 1938/1939 but was reopened on May 28 1939 but closed again on September 11 1939, the first station on the line to close
Following closure, the track formation was retained and used as a passing loop until the track through the station was lifted during the 1960's and the station site was cleared
