[3] The station was located just north of the junction for the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway line to Battersby and Grosmont on the Whitby & Pickering Railway.

[4] Local services started at the station with the opening of the Leeds Northern Railway and then along the Battersby line when the first section to Stokesley opened in 1857.

[7] By 1922, this was down to four services on the Battersby line, and by the time of the closure of that line to passengers in 1954, the service ran to only two trains per day through Picton.

[8] The station remained open for a further six years for local services on the Northallerton to Eaglescliffe line, and was closed to passengers in 1960.

The stationmasters house still stands, but the other buildings have all been demolished.
