Middlesbrough Train Station facilities

Serving the busy Yorkshire town of Middlesbrough, nearly one and a half million passengers come through the station’s doors annually. Originally a wooden shed, the station opened in 1830, and with the town’s increasing population, by 1847 new buildings were needed, further being expanded in 1877, incorporating new, larger constructions. Fortunately, the glorious gothic ironwork still exists today and can be enjoyed by visitors to the station who look skywards. The innovative elliptical glass roof design, sadly, was damaged in a German bombing raid in 1942 and had to be replaced.

In 2017 Middlesbrough Station enjoyed yet another renovation to repair exterior stonework, and in the process, a new ticket office, information screens and an upgraded car park were included.

Middlesbrough is a great destination for a day out with the children or shopping with a mate. Make use of Northern’s money-saving travel deals, including the Family and Friends Railcard, or the couple-friendly Duo ticket.
