Fyling Hall railway station

Fyling Hall railway station was a railway station on the Scarborough & Whitby Railway. It opened on 16 July 1885, and was named after Fyling Hall, near Fylingthorpe. It closed temporarily on 1 December 1915[1] as a wartime economy measure, before reopening on 18 September 1920. In 1934 it became a block post to allow two trains on the line between Ravenscar and Robins Hood Bay travelling at the same time in the same direction.[2] In the same year, the construction of a passing loop was proposed as Fyling Hall was one of four stations on the line which did not possess one, but the proposal was rejected because the traffic levels that would justify it only occurred over short time periods. It became an unstaffed halt from 5 May 1958[3] with a siding remaining in use for public deliveries.[2]
