[1] The Scarborough & Whitby railway was a victim of the Beeching cuts and all freight traffic to Hawsker was curtailed by 10 August 1964 and the station closed to passengers on 8 March 1965.

[2] The track from Whitby was left in situ until 1973 pending potash traffic which never materialised.

[3] The road overbridge immediately south of the station was removed in the 1990s and replaced with a dual pelican crossing.

[4] The station is now (2007) the headquarters of Trailways Cycle Hire and has old railway carriages used as accommodation on site.

In the 2010s a brick wing (in a style similar to the rest of the building) was added to the station house's southeast side.
