Description
This is a two platform station. The main station building is on the westbound platform. The platforms are canopied. On the south side of the line and to the west of the station is the signal box, and at the east end several carriage sidings.
The station was opened in 1846 and rebuilt and expanded by the North Eastern Railway in 1877 on the same site. (The 1846 incarnation is sometimes referred to as the 3rd Middlesbrough station and the 1877 rebuild as the 4th).
The station opened with the Middlesbrough and Redcar Railway and was built on an alignment just to the south of the 1842 Middlesbrough Dock Goods alignment. A portion of this remains as the station's goods bypass. The connection to the older line is west of the station. Guisborough Junction, to the east of the station on the goods bypass, is where the goods connection from the Middlesbrough and Redcar Railway to the Middlesbrough Dock Goods line was made.
