History

The Esk Valley Line was once part of a large network covering the area, much of which was destroyed by Dr Beeching's cuts. Today's route is formed from four separate railway lines:

  1. Whitby (Town) - Grosmont (for Pickering)
  2. Grosmont - Battersby (for Picton)
  3. Battersby - Nunthorpe Junction
  4. Nunthorpe Junction (for Guisborough) - Middlesbrough
