British Steel Redcar railway station was opened to serve the huge Teesside Steelworks site. It is located in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Tees Valley Line and operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services.

The station opened on 19 June 1978 and is situated on a re-sited portion of route that was commissioned on that date by British Rail to allow the previous alignment to be used for an expansion of the steelworks site. This included a station at Warrenby Halt that the current structure replaced.

According to the SRA, only 486 entries and exits were recorded for the station during the 2004-05 period, mainly due to there being no public access to and from the station (it being located on Tata Steel Europe property) and also due to the limited service. However, the numbers had increased to 1,418 entries and exits by the 2013-14 period.

Services

On Monday to Fridays, only one train per day in each direction between Middlesbrough and Saltburn serves the station.

On Saturdays the station is only served in one direction, by a train from Saltburn to Bishop Auckland. There is no Sunday service.
