Station Message

Platform 2 is closed - eastbound service (towards Saltburn) are unable to call

There is an unsafe footbridge at South Bank which means that trains are currently unable to call at platform 2 at this station. Trains running from Middlesbrough towards Saltburn will not call at South Bank.

To assist customers to complete their journey, a shuttle bus has been provided between Middlesbrough, South Bank and Redcar Central, in this direction only.

Customers at South Bank travelling towards Saltburn should board the shuttle bus and then connect at Redcar Central for Northern services towards Saltburn, or catch a train service to Middlesbrough, and then board a return train service for stations to Saltburn. Trains in the opposite direction from Redcar Central towards Middlesbrough are able to run normally.

South Bank Train Station facilities

South Bank Station, on the outskirts of the northern town of Middlesbrough, opened in 1984 to serve the surrounding industrial sector. On the Tees Valley Line, between Saltburn and Bishop Aukland, the current station was preceded by Eston, which occupied the site from 1853.

Enjoying a footfall of nearly 30,000 passengers every year, South Bank’s two platforms have undergone a major refurbishment in recent years with improved waiting facilities, complete with CCTV, clearer signage and a new PA system, making it easier for passengers to hear the announcements.

If you’re travelling to South Bank or Middlesbrough by train, you’ll find it easy to save money with the range of available Northern tickets, such as Off-Peak, for catching the train outside the busy commuter times, or Advance fares if you’re happy to plan ahead.
