Roseberry Parkway railway station

Roseberry Parkway railway station (also known as Nunthorpe Parkway)[1] is a proposed railway station intended to be located between Nunthorpe and Great Ayton railway stations on the Esk Valley Line, in North Yorkshire, England.[2] The station was proposed in August 2019 by a joint project between Redcar & Cleveland and Middlesbrough Councils and the Tees Valley Combined Authority. The projects' intention is "aimed at easing road congestion and improving access to East Cleveland".[3]

A parkway station in the area of Nunthorpe has been proposed since at least 2009 when funds were made available by the UK Government for studies into improving transport links in the East Cleveland area.[4] The station was listed as Nunthorpe Parkway in the Tees Valley Metro Project documentation of 2010, though this maintained that any future station would be constructed after 2014.[5] The proposed Roseberry Parkway station would serve an estimated population of 70,000 people and seek to encourage 30,000 car journeys away from the so-called Marton Crawl,[6] a name applied to the gridlock along the A-roads (A172 and A171) leading northwards into Middlesbrough.[7]

Although an exact location for the station has yet to be decided upon, it is suggested that it is situated in the shadow of Roseberry Topping and be a transport hub connecting pedestrians, bikes, cars and buses with trains. It is also hoped that trains to Middlesbrough would run half-hourly, with the prospect of trains to Whitby being doubled.[3][8] Local opinion on the proposals were mixed, with some suggesting a revamp of the station at Teesside Airport as a preferred option for a rail and bus interchange.[9]
