North Skelton
(1902 - 1951)
North Skelton first opened to goods traffic on April 1 1875 but a passenger station wasn't provided until July 1 1902
The station had two platforms serving a double track. A timber waiting room and booking office was provided on the 'up' (Saltburn) platform with the Station Master’s house to the rear. The 'down' platform had a timber waiting room and a signalbox at the south end of the platform controlling two sidings on the down side of the line running behind the station; one served a goods shed. The platforms were connected by a footbridge
In the winter of 1912/13 there were 12 passenger trains a day in each direction but by the 1940’s things had changed and there were only 2 trains in each direction
The station closed on January 15 1951 due to a shortage of coal but reopened for the 'summer season' on June 18 1951 and closed permanently to passengers on September 10 1951. The station retained its goods service until February 1 1952
The track was not lifted and it is now single track and carries mineral traffic from Boulby Potash Mine and steel from Skinningrove
The Station House remains as a private residence otherwise the site shows no obvious sign of a station ever having been here although the remains of the Saltburn platform can be identified
