Redcar British Steel | Mothballed and Least Used Station

A very cold and windy look around Redcar British Steel.
Not yet mothballed but not far from it. It was cold.

A fascinating quirk of the British network. Thanks for sharing.

[@weirdspongeguy]

The last ever train there should be pulling in as I type 😭

[@Sim0nTrains]

Holding the train up for a Selfie lol, great video shame about the wind

[@angkarbasil]

The ridership pretty much quadrupled in its last year because it was so interesting that so many railfans visited it because it was called the least used station

[@fw6018]

Laughed out loud at that seat

[@Trek001]

I believe Redcar box closed a few years ago and is now under the control of LNE Regional Operations Centre at York - the box is essentially a crossing box now

[@bluecharlie23stuff26]

Trek001 nope, it is still active and manned. The controller in the box controls the signals within the Redcar area as well as the crossings. I have been in it 3 month ago

[@Karlinski73]

Man alive. That place is more desperate than Stanlow & Thornton!

Good guard is Jon. I miss the pacers too.

[@JonGilb]

I miss them. Won't work anymore now.

[@fivelampsparanormalinvesti8042]

Jon Gilb Railway Videos yeah was this one an ex Mersey one?

[@JonGilb]

I'll have to check the road to Redcar video I did. It'll show the one at Saltburn that took me to British Steel.

[@dcarter3921]

Imagine the return train being cancelled, lol :)

Geoff reference

[@bluecharlie23stuff26]

I thing to get here as northern has stopped a service stopping there, you have to call northern to stop a train there

[@spontexfans2700]

Don’t forget to report all delays via the app!

[@JonGilb]

I fixed the sign :P

[@bluecharlie23stuff26]

I live in Redcar! Also do u work for northern?

[@hhgttg69]

any security guards spot you and tell you not to leave the station? (re-watched Geoff's tonight and there was one in his)

[@JonGilb]

There was nobody. Nobody at all

[@PlayMoreGolf-RipOff]

That’s a bus on wheels not a train!

[@dontmesswithness3291]

Has Redcar British steel really close

[@JonGilb]

It's been mothballed. Technically open but no trains call

[@dontmesswithness3291]

[@hhgttg69]
