How Can We Help?
Cayton railway station was a minor railway station serving the village of Cayton on the Yorkshire Coast Line from Scarborough to Hull and was opened on 5 October 1846 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed on 5 May 1952.
Like its neighbour at Gristhorpe, the former station house here remains standing as a private dwelling. The former signal box here has though been demolished, as the level crossing it worked has been converted to automatic barrier operation.[1][2] One platform has also survives, though it is heavily overgrown and difficult to see.
