Before temporary closure in 2019, it was the second busiest station on the Wensleydale Railway in terms of passenger numbers owing to its status as the western terminus of the line.

[1] The station was opened by the North Eastern Railway in 1878 as part of the Hawes extension of their route from Northallerton via Leyburn but it lost its passenger service in April 1954.

[2] The site was redeveloped in the early 1990s by the Ministry of Defence to allow movement of military equipment by rail to and from Catterick Garrison, an operation that continues periodically to this day.

[5] Redmire Station House is now a Scout-owned activity centre giving children and other charities a base for a week or weekend visit to the area.

Redmire Station House is owned by 2nd Acomb Scout Group, York and run on their behalf under a Declaration of Trust with four trustees.
