History[]
The station was designed by Francis Thompson[1] and opened by the Northern and Eastern Railway in 1844.[1] The main station building was abandoned by British Railways in 1978[1] and remained unoccupied until being converted into a restaurant. The station was given Grade II listed status on 30 April 1971.[2]
The station's signal box, built in 1876, is one of only two surviving examples of the GER Type I signal box.[3]
In 2016 the station's ticket office was demolished, and a waiting room was built on its foundations. Additional customer information screens, ticket machines, and improved CCTV and lighting were added at the same time.[4][5]
