Description

This was an island platform station on the two southern lines of the quadruple track line. The station building on the platform was canopied and the goods yard was to the south, approached from the east. Its opening led to Southbank station being renamed back to Eston [1st].

The station closed in 1984 replaced by South Bank, which has allowed the running lines to be straightened through the site of the former platform.
