Sinnington railway station was a minor station serving the village of Sinnington in North Yorkshire, England on the former Gilling and Pickering (G&P) line opened in 1875. This line followed today's main A170 road corridor from Helmsley to Pickering.

History

It closed on 31 January 1953[1] for both passengers and freight, with the end of the York-Pickering service via Gilling and Helmsley, and the track was lifted between Pickering and Kirkbymoorside in the same year. By this time there were only 3 trains each way per day.

Public transport to Sinnington today

Sinnington is served by East Yorkshire bus no. 128 running between Kirkbymoorside and Pickering, Scarborough and Helmsley running up to hourly during the day, but with no Sunday winter service.
