This is the second station built by the York and North Midland Railway in 1845 to replace the original 1836 station which was situated at the end of the current platforms. The Y&NM built the present Whitby station to the design of its architect George Townsend Andrews, who also designed the locomotive shed and the goods shed (demolished to make way for a supermarket, although a German bomber made a start during the Second World War). Andrews' station included a fine 'Euston Truss' overall roof which was removed by British Railways in 1953 and replaced by the present awnings.

In 1854, the Y&NM helped form the North Eastern Railway, who later added two more platforms (also replaced by the supermarket) to help deal with traffic from the other branch lines that served Whitby; the Esk Valley Line finally opened throughout to a junction at Grosmont in 1865. The coast line from Loftus opened in 1883 and from Scarborough in 1885.The NER became part of the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923 and the LNER became part of British Railways in 1948.

the Beeching Report of 1963 recommended closure of all three lines that still served Whitby (the fourth line going north up the coast had already closed in 1958. In the event the Esk Valley line to Middlesbrough was saved. It is said that this is because the roads to the villages that it served were steep and narrow, making replacement bus services impractical, especially for bringing school children to and from school in Whitby.

Platforms 3 and 4 were entirely removed and the site sold off, to be occupied by a supermarket. Platform 2 was cut back to what remains of the train shed and its track removed, leaving only Platform 1 rail served. In 2013, it was announced that the second platform would be restored to allow 5 NYMR trains a day to run to Whitby
