The James Cook University Hospital

The James Cook University Hospital is one of Europe’s most modern hospitals. James Cook provides a wide range of district general hospital services and specialist services including neurosciences, renal medicine, spinal injuries, major trauma, cardiothoracic, vascular surgery and cancer services. The accident and emergency department is the designated major trauma centre for the southern half of the northern region and the hospital has a dedicated 24-hour acute admissions unit.

The station is ideally placed for visitors to the hospital, with connections from Leeds, Northallerton, Darlington and Newcastle at Middlesbrough and then just one stop (4 minutes) to James Cook Hospital Station and a seven minute walk to the South Entrance. It is also useful for residents from the North Yorkhire part of the Whitby to Middlesbrough railway line.

The James Cook University Hospital Station in Middlesbrough opened on the 18th May 2014 for patients, visitors and staff. The new station helps alleviate car parking pressure at the hospital and also eases congestion on Marton Road. Please use the train if you can.

The new facility, costing around £2.2 million, has a single platform on the Middlesbrough to Whitby route (on the hospital side of the railway line) and provides a fully-lit waiting shelter and seating, full CCTV coverage and passenger information including an electronic screen and public address announcements.

The project was developed in partnership between Tees Valley Unlimited (now Tees Valley Combined Authority – see here for their vision on transport) , the Hospital Trust, Middlesbrough Council, Network Rail and Northern Railway, with the train service managed by Northern Railway.
