Hellifield station is a superb structure that is disproportionately large

for the settlement it serves. However, the Midland Railway built it at what became a busy junction and deemed that it should be this size. Today the 1880 built structure that was designed by the esteemed and Midland Railway 'favourite' Charles Trubshaw is Grade II listed and undergoes regular maintenance to keep it looking good. However, vast swathes of the platforms surrounding the building are overgrown and spoil the overall ambiance. 150118 pauses at the station working the 11.14 Leeds to Heysham Harbour service.
