Marishes Road railway station was a railway station on the York and North Midland Railway's branch line to Pickering. It opened on 5 July 1845, and until 1848 was called High Marishes, after the village of that name.[1] It closed on 8 March 1965 (although freight to Pickering continued for a further year).

Since closure the main station buildings have remained intact, with the exception of the small wooden signal box which stood immediately north-east of the level crossing - which is now an exhibition as part of Pickering Station Trail on the NYMR.[2] All signals have also disappeared, including the fine NER lattice post up home signal.
