History
The station was opened on 3 May 1976 by the Eastern Region of British Railways,[1] at a cost of £24,000 (Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".), and was expected to have a footfall of 150 passengers per day. The station was built in an area of increasing housing development, which at that time, was poorly served by public transport.[2]
Tees Valley Metro

Starting in 2006, Gypsy Lane was mentioned within the Tees Valley Metro scheme. This was a plan to upgrade the Tees Valley Line and sections of the Esk Valley Line and Durham Coast Line to provide a faster and more frequent service across the North East of England. In the initial phases the services would have been heavy rail mostly along existing alignments with new additional infrastructure and rollingstock. The later phase would have introduced tram-trains to allow street running and further heavy rail extensions.[3][4][5][6]
As part of the scheme, Gypsy Lane station would have received improved service to Nunthorpe and Hartlepool, possibly a street-running link to Guisborough and the Headland, as well as new rollingstock.[3][5]
However, due to a change in government in 2010 and the 2008 financial crisis, the project was ultimately shelved.[7] Several stations eventually got their improvements and there is a possibility of improved rollingstock and services in the future which may affect Gypsy Lane.[8]
Facilities
In 2013, the station was refurbished, with new and upgraded facilities, including a new fully lit waiting shelter, renewed station signage and the installation of CCTV.
In February 2016, an upgraded next train announcement audio and visual display was installed at the station, with a ticket machine being added in August 2019.
