A platform and rail bridge at one of the least used railway stations in the country will be removed.
Only 30 people got on or off a train at Teesside Airport in 2016/17, making it the second least popular station in the country.
Now bosses at Durham Tees Valley Airport has agreed with Northern Rail to run the station’s once-a-week service in only one direction.
Those travelling from Hartlepool to Darlington and using the airport side platform will still be able to use the halt.
But another platform and a footbridge is being removed, as airport chiefs say the cost of maintaining it could be up to £6m over the next five years.
