Close
In 1978 the railway was diverted to allow for the building of the Redcar steelworks, leaving Warrenby bypassed. A new station, Redcar British Steel, opened on the deviation line to take its place.[4] (The replacement station was officially the quietest station on the entire British rail network with only 40 passengers in 2017–18.)
One of Warrenby Halt's platforms survives at Newton Dale Halt on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.[5]
