Background
History
The station was designed by Francis Thompson and opened by the Northern and Eastern Railway in 1844. The station's signal box, built in 1876, is one of only two surviving examples of the GER Type I signal box. 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.
