North
Yorkshire Moors Railway
|
This line is open. It is one of the oldest railways in North East England and when first opened was not connected to any others despite the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway to the west. It was absorbed by the North Eastern Railway and a number of lines later made connections to it. Part of the line is now the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. |

This line is in the North Yorkshire Moors and runs from Pickering to Whitby.
Part is now preserved as the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (Pickering to Grosmont) and part owned by Network Rail (Grosmont to Whitby).
From Whitby to Pickering. Some deviations on the original route were opened in later years which left Beckhole on a short branch.
This is a two platform station.
