Britains least used railway station has been named as British Steel Redcar. Only 40 passengers used the North Yorkshire station in 2017/18, according to Office of Rail and Road figures. The coke ovens and blast furnace at the nearby SSI steel plant were shut down in 2015 leading to a drop in demand for the railway station but there are still some people employed at the site.

The 'Buxton Spa Express' stops at Denton on 25 February 2017 to take water, or at least the loco, 45690 Leander does. Denton has only one passenger train a week, the 0922 Stockport to Stalybridge on a Friday and nothing in the opposite direction!

An exceptionally hot day at Barry Links looking south in August 2006 with an Aberdeen bound express service on the level crossing. The up platform was part of an island with the south side once used by troop trains serving the nearby MoD Barry Buddon training camp. The station currently sees one stopping train in each direction on weekdays.

The epitome of Parliamentary services, this is Teesside Airport station, which only has one train calling in each direction per week. Opened in 1971 it once had an hourly service but is some distance from the airport terminal and was little used. In 2016 only 98 passenger journeys were recorded and that was considerably more than many previous years. This view taken from the A67 but the station cannot be accessed from this road.
