Cloughton
(1885 - 1965)
When opened on July 16 1885, the station only had 1 platform but in 1891 a siding was extended to form a passing loop and a 2nd platform was added. The level crossing at Cloughton was the only manned one
on the line
The goods yard at Cloughton included a cattle dock and small goods shed with a wooden awning. Goods traffic was withdrawn from Cloughton on May 4 1964, 3 months before goods traffic was withdrawn completely over the line
Although the station opened in July 1885, a train service was provided in January 1884, 18 months before opening, for a Band of Hope meeting at Raven Hall in Ravenscar even though the station building hadn't been built
Camping coaches were introduced at Scalby, Cloughton, Staintondale, Ravenscar and Robin Hood's Bay, these quickly proved to be very profitable. The camping coaches were still operating at a profit but this was insufficient to save the line which closed to passengers on March 6 1965
The station building and stationmaster's house on the down platform have been restored as a guest house and tea room. The south end of both platforms are extant with a short length of track relaid at the south end of the down platform so that a railway carriage can be used as a 'camping coach'
