History
[edit]The station was opened to the public on 5 June 1846 by the Middlesbrough and Redcar Railway, although it had opened a day earlier for a VIP special and an excursion.[1] Lazenby station was 4.5 miles (7.2 km) east of Middlesbrough, and 3.5 miles (5.6 km) west of the original Redcar railway station.[2] It closed in May 1864.[3] It erroneously appeared in the 1867 and 1872 editions of the handbook of stations.[4]
