History
The station was originally opened by the Leeds Northern Railway on 25 May 1852. It was closed by British Rail on 4 January 1960.[1] The former station building is still in place today, and is situated on the north side of Yarm Viaduct, in Egglescliffe, County Durham.[2]
The imposing red brick structure consists of 43 arches, and spans a total of 690 metres (2,260 ft) over the River Tees. The viaduct was designated a Grade II listed structure on 23 June 1966.[3]
The current station was opened by Railtrack on 19 February 1996, and is located 1+1⁄8 miles (1.8 km) south of the former.[4][1]
Facilities
The station is unstaffed, but a self-service ticket machine is available, which allows intending passengers to buy tickets before boarding or collect advance purchase/pre-paid tickets. The machine is located on platform 1 (bound for York/Manchester Piccadilly). There are waiting shelters, a customer help point, timetable posters and real-time information displays on both platforms. There is also a large free car park.
Both platforms have step-free access, and can be accessed by ramps from the road bridge on Green Lane.[5]
Services
As of the December 2024 timetable change, the station is served by an hourly service between Redcar Central and Manchester Airport via York.[6]
Weekday and Saturday Services run every hour in both directions (roughly xx:18 each hour towards Redcar Central and xx:35 towards Manchester). Sunday services run to a similar pattern on a Sunday albeit with a later start. Three trains each day extend to/from Redcar to Saltburn.
