Tees Valley Metro

Starting in 2006, Marton was mentioned within the Tees Valley Metro scheme. This was a plan to upgrade the Tees Valley Line and sections of the Esk Valley Line and Durham Coast Line to provide a faster and more frequent service across the North East of England. In the initial phases the services would have been heavy rail mostly along existing alignments with new additional infrastructure and rollingstock. The later phase would have introduced tram-trains to allow street running and further heavy rail extensions.[4][5][6][7]

As part of the scheme, Marton station would have received improved service to Nunthorpe and Hartlepool, possibly a street-running link to Guisborough and the Headland, as well as new rollingstock.[4][6]

However, due to a change in government in 2010 and the 2008 financial crisis, the project was ultimately shelved.[8] Several stations eventually got their improvements including Marton, and there is a possibility of improved rollingstock and services in the future which may affect Marton.[9]

Facilities

Station facilities were upgraded in 2012 as part of the Tees Valley Metro project.[10] The package for the station included a new fully lit waiting shelter, renewed station signage and the installation of CCTV. A long-line public address system (PA) was also installed, with pre-recorded train announcements.

A passenger information screen with details of train times was installed at the station in March 2016. A ticket machine was installed at the station in 2019. The station has a limited number of car parking spaces.

Services
