Roseberry Parkway railway station (also known as Nunthorpe Parkway)^[1] is a proposed railway station which would be between Nunthorpe and Great Ayton railway stations on the Esk Valley Line, in North Yorkshire, England.^[2] The station was proposed in August 2019 by a joint project between Redcar & Cleveland and Middlesbrough Councils and the Tees Valley Combined Authority. The project is "aimed at easing road congestion and improving access to East Cleveland".^[3]

A parkway station near Nunthorpe has been proposed since at least 2009 when central government funding was made available for studies into improving transport links in the East Cleveland area.^[4] The station was listed as Nunthorpe Parkway in the Tees Valley Metro Project documentation of 2010, though this maintained that any future station would be constructed after 2014.^[5] Roseberry Parkway station would serve an estimated population of 70,000 people and seek to encourage 30,000 car journeys away from the Marton Crawl,^[6] a name applied to the gridlock along the A-roads (A172 and A171) leading northwards into Middlesbrough.^[7]

Although an exact site is not yet proposed, it is suggested that the station is situated in the shadow of Roseberry Topping and would be a transport hub connecting pedestrians, bikes, cars and buses with trains. Trains to Middlesbrough would run half-hourly, with the prospect of trains to Whitby being doubled.^[3][8] Local opinion on the proposals was mixed, with some suggesting a revamp of the station at Teesside Airport as a preferred option for a rail and bus interchange.^[9]
