Goathland formerly Goathland Mill
(1865 - 1965 1973)


The station originally known as Goathland Mill is on the deviation line opened by the North Eastern Railway in 1865 to avoid the cable-worked Beckhole Incline, which was part of the original 1836 Whitby and Pickering Railway route

The collection of station buildings is very little altered since they were built – the last recorded change was in 1908

Deemed to be uneconomic, the line was closed to passenger traffic in 1965, and freight traffic a year later, as part of the Beeching cuts, before reopening in 1973 as part of the North Yorkshire Moors heritage Railway
