Ruswarp
(1848 - 1965 )
The line through Ruswarp was opened in June 1835, as the initial section of the Whitby and Pickering Railway between Whitby and Grosmont
The station first appears in a timetable for May 1848, though it was used before that; in July 1835
The main railway building, which is now grade II listed, was built in 1850
Behind the main station building was a three-road goods yard, with a connection facing towards Whitby. The yard was listed as forwarding flour and bran as it chief commodities.
A second goods siding was located just across the river which dealt mostly with cattle. Both goods sidings were closed in early August 1965
There are four services per day in each direction towards both Whitby and Middlesbrough Monday to Saturday, with two through trains to Sunderland and Newcastle Central.
Sunday services of four trains in each direction also operate throughout the year. The station is not part of the heritage line between Pickering and Whitby
