Teesside Airport railway station is on the Tees Valley line which runs between Bishop Auckland and Saltburn via Darlington in County Durham, England.
It is managed by Northern Trains, which also operated the limited service calling at the station prior to its temporary closure in 2022.
[6][7][8][9] The station is a fifteen-minute walk from the airport terminal, and accessibility issues are a major factor in its lack of usage.
[18][19][20] The station saw its service suspended in May 2022, being deemed unsafe with owner Teesside Airport refusing to fund repairs.
In the initial phases the services would have been heavy rail mostly along existing alignments with new additional infrastructure and rollingstock.
[28] Early in 2024, the Tees Valley Combined Authority Mayor, Ben Houchen, expressed a desire to spend £20 million on a new station.
[31] The 1986 British Rail timetable shows that the station was served by an hourly service, which operated seven days a week.
However, since the early 1990s, the station has received only a bare minimum parliamentary service, to avoid the need for formal closure proceedings.
