Gilberdyke railway station serves the village of Gilberdyke in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern Rail.
It was once a relatively busy station, but is now an un-manned halt. A number of tracks have now been removed, and facilities are limited to a shelter on each platform. There used to be 2 uplines and 2 downlines.
The station was previously known as Staddlethorpe Station. The station was also the scene of a large number of sidings. One of the main employers around the station was the Staddlethorpe Pole Yard where Telegraph Poles are dipped in to creosote.
Today the sidings are long gone, these have been replaced by an industrial estate. The main employers on the estate are GB Industries, Horncastle Estates, Smith and Nephew, and Smiths Furnishings.
Buildings of Staddlethorpe Station still exist include the goods shed, the Station Master House, 2 station cottages next to the Station Masters House and further down Broad Lane a number of terraced cottages known as Station Cottages.
A planning application has been submitted to apply for full planning consent for the demolition of the goods shed, and the erection of 3 industrial units for splitting in to 18 smaller business units.
This is leading to concerns regarding the amount of additional traffic that is generated that will travel through the already congested village of Gilberdyke.
