History
The station opened in October 1865,[1] when the North Eastern railway completed the section of line between Castleton Moor and Grosmont as proposed by Castleton & Grosmont Railway in act passed by Parliament in July 1861.[2] The station opened up at the same time as the line did and, because of its elevated location above the valley floor, the architect of the station buildings, Thomas Prosser, had the foundations buried 16 feet (4.9 m) deep.[3][4] Between 1865 and 1881, the station was known as Egton after the bigger of the two villages it served, but between 1881 and 1892, it was called Egton Bridge named after its physical location. It reverted to being plain Egton in 1892.[5]
The station stopped forwarded and receiving goods in August 1965.[6]
