Redmarshall railway station was a
North Eastern Railway, in County Durham
.
History
The station was opened with a section of the
North Eastern Railway (NER) upon the formation of the latter in 1854.[4]
In 1915 the line between Shildon and Newport was electrified. On completion of the work, there were four tracks between Stillington Junction and Carlton West Junction; the southern pair carried the freight trains and were electrified, whilst the northern pair carried the passenger trains and remained steam-worked. At Carlton station, the platforms were only on the northern pair of tracks.[5]
On 1 January 1923 the NER amalgamated with other companies to form the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER).[6] On 1 July 1923 the LNER renamed the station Redmarshall.[7]
The station was closed by
British Railways on 31 March 1952,[8] when passenger trains over the route between Middlesbrough and Ferryhill were withdrawn. The line is still in use for freight and occasional diverted passenger trains, but no trace of the station itself remains.[9]
