History The Whitby and Pickering Railway was a horse-worked line engineered by George Stephenson, which opened between Whitby and Tunnel Inn (the station's former name) on 8 June 1835. The station was named after the tunnel required to pass from Grosmont towards Beckhole. The line to Pickering opened on 26 May the year after. By 1848, it was renamed to Grosmont. The line westwards to Castleton opened in 1865.
The North Eastern Railway built a short terrace of cottages just south of the tunnel. In later years, these were used by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to house volunteers, but were subsequently demolished in 1989, to allow extensions to the running shed and workshops.
Two North Eastern Railway camping coaches were positioned here between 1959 and 1964.
The branch line between Grosmont and Malton via Pickering was closed on 8 March 1965, under the Beeching Axe. It was later reopened by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway as a heritage railway on 22 April 1973, and currently operates between Grosmont and Pickering, with services also extending to Whitby.
