By October 1920 [1] Opened as Warrenby Halt
5 May 1969 [2] Renamed Warrenby
19 June 1978 [1] Closed and replaced by British Steel Redcar

Warrenby Halt was a railway station opened in 1920 having been built to serve the village of Warrenby in Redcar and Cleveland, England and the nearby Dorman Long works. It consisted of wooden platforms and brick-built shelters and was gas-lit. [3]

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.)
