Background
History
Plans for the building of a station at the hospital had been discussed for some 25 years, including as part of the, now abandoned, Tees Valley Metro project. The station was finally given the green light by Middlesbrough Council's planning committee in January 2013, and construction work started in January 2014. The station, named after the locally born 18th century British explorer and circumnavigator Captain James Cook, cost £2.2 million to build and opened to the public on 18 May 2014. It was officially opened on 18 July 2014 by then Minister of State for Transport, Baroness Kramer.
