Billingham railway station serves the town of Billingham, within the borough of Stockton-on-Tees and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is located on the Durham Coast Line and is operated by Northern Rail who provide all of the station's passenger services.
The station is a modern-style halt on the line (opened in 1966), the town's original larger grander station to the west towards Norton having being demolished in the 1970s. It was next to the old route of the A19. Only the signal box and footbridge survive on the site of the original station.
The Tees Valley Rail Strategy calls for the re-opening of the original station as 'Old Billingham' as a new additional station on the Durham Coast Line. However, the plans have yet to come to fruition.
Services
The station has an hourly service in each direction on weekdays, northwards to Hartlepool, Sunderland and Newcastle and southwards to Middlesbrough. Sundays see a two-hourly service each way.
