Gypsy Lane is a railway station on the Esk Valley Line, which runs between Middlesbrough and Whitby via Nunthorpe. The station, situated 4 miles 3 chains (6.5 km) south-east of Middlesbrough, serves the suburb of Nunthorpe, Redcar and Cleveland in North Yorkshire, England. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.
History
[edit]The station was opened on 3 May 1976 by the Eastern Region of British Railways,[1] at a cost of £24,000 (equivalent to £218,000 in 2023), and was expected to have a footfall of 150 passengers per day. The station was built in an area of increasing housing development, which at that time, was poorly served by public transport.[2]
Facilities
[edit]In 2013, the station was refurbished, with new and upgraded facilities, including a new fully lit waiting shelter, renewed station signage and the installation of CCTV.
In February 2016, an upgraded next train announcement audio and visual display was installed at the station, with a ticket machine being added in August 2019.
