Gilberdyke railway station serves the village of Gilberdyke in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station, and all but two trains serving it, are operated by Northern Rail. There are also two westbound services per day (Monday-Saturday only) which are operated by First TransPennine Express, these trains running through to Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Piccadilly respectively.
It was once a relatively busy station, but is now an unmanned halt. A number of tracks have been removed, and facilities are limited to a shelter on each platform. There used to be two 'up' lines and two 'down' lines.
The station was previously known as Staddlethorpe Station. It had a large number of sidings. One of the main employers near the station was the Staddlethorpe Pole Yard, where telegraph poles were dipped in creosote.
Today the sidings are long gone, having been replaced by an industrial estate.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 that still exist include the goods shed, the Station Master's House and two adjacent cottages, and, further down Broad Lane, a number of terraced cottages known as Station Cottages.
An application has been submitted for full planning consent for the demolition of the goods shed and the erection of three industrial units split into eighteen smaller business units.
