[2][7] In 1911, the North Eastern Railway assessed the station as having a catchment of 200 people, with 5,700 tickets issued in the same surveyed year.

[8] It closed temporarily on 1 December 1915[9] as a wartime economy measure, before reopening on 18 September 1920.

[10] In 1934 it became a block post to allow two trains on the line between Ravenscar and Robins Hood Bay travelling at the same time in the same direction.

[9] In the same year, the construction of a passing loop was proposed as Fyling Hall was one of four stations on the line which did not possess one, but the proposal was rejected because the traffic levels that would justify it only occurred over short time periods.

[9] The site is open as part of the railway path between Robin Hood's Bay and Ravenscar.
