Grinkle railway station was on the
North Eastern Railway's Durham Coast Line
.
The station originally had only one platform, a second being added around 1906 to increase the passenger capacity of the line. A small goods yard with one siding was situated west of the station, serving a coal depot. There was a brick-built station building along with a signal box.[3]
The station closed on 11 September 1939,[4] but was used as a passing loop afterwards.[3] Though the line is closed to passengers, the track remains to service the nearby Boulby Potash Mine. However the track layout has been changed and the station has been completely dismantled.[5]
