Riby Street Platform was a railway station which served the Riby Street area of Grimsby from 1904–1941. It was opened by the Great Central Railway to serve the very first dock in Grimsby but was closed during World War II and never reopened.

The station was known as "Skateknob Junction" by workers at the nearby fish docks.^[1]{{sfn|King|Hewins|1989|p=33}} It consisted of two narrow wooden platforms connected by a footbridge.^[2] Although the platforms had been removed, the footbridge was still plain to see in 1961.{{sfn|King|Hewins|1989|loc=Photo 62}}

Services

The station was built aiming at services for workers at the adjacent docks, most of which were unadvertised. It is not shown in the July 1922 Bradshaw.{{sfn|Bradshaw|1985|loc=p xlix & p714}}

Aftermath

By 2015 no trace of the station could be found. The line through the station site had been reduced to single track, but enjoyed a regular passenger service to Cleethorpes. No railborne fish traffic had been carried from Grimsby for many years.
