Railway stations not officially closed with no services in the United Kingdom

Some railway stations in the United Kingdom have no services on offer from them, which renders the station effectively closed. These stations do not appear in the rail usage figures of the Office of Rail & Road as the stations receive no passengers. In order for the station to officially close, the Department for Transport is required to launch a consultation process before formally closing, under the provisions of the Railways Act 2005.

Dorset
The station is situated at the end of the Weymouth Harbour Tramway and served the ferry terminal to the Channel Islands. The last regular service run in September 1987, the branch was last used in 1999 by a Pathfinder Tour special. Between 2020 and 2021, work took place to remove the tracks of the branch.

Staffordshire

 * Barlaston and Wedgwood, service suspended since May 2004

In May 2003 Central Trains services on the Stafford to Stoke-on-Trent line were withdrawn while the line was closed as part of an upgrade of the West Coast Main Line with a bus service introduced serving Norton Bridge, Stone and Barlaston and Wedgwood. The rail service resumed in January 2004, but was withdrawn in May 2004 as Central Trains were short of crews while it trained them to operate Class 321s and 350s, and a replacement bus service was reintroduced. The rail services were scheduled to resume in May 2005, however the Strategic Rail Authority decided the rail services would not be reinstated as with an increase in services by other operators, the paths were no longer available.

In December 2008 London Midland introduced a new service between London Euston and Crewe that operated via the Stafford to Stoke-on-Trent line, however only Stone was reopened with the other stations continuing to be served by buses. A consultation ran from October 2016 until February 2017 to officially close Norton Bridge and end the rail replacement bus service. Norton Bridge officially closed on 10 December 2017 when the London Midland franchise ended and the replacement bus, part funded by the Department for Transport ended in March 2019. However, proposals were made to reopen Wedgwood and/or Barlaston.

 * IBM, service suspended since 9 December 2018

Following the closure and subsequent demolition of the former IBM site in 2016, Abellio ScotRail's Inverclyde line services from Glasgow Central to Wemyss Bay continued to serve IBM station with an hourly service. On 9 December 2018 all services ceased to call at the station as part of a revised timetable. The decision was taken following a rise in crime and anti-social behaviour in the disused site surrounding the station and due to a decrease in passenger numbers as a result of the site's closure. The station has not been formally closed as Abellio ScotRail have stated that services could resume if the site is redeveloped.

Devon
Services on the line ceased in September 2019, and in 2020 it was announced that Dartmoor Railway, who operated the line, had gone into administration. Network Rail announced in March 2021 that it had taken over the Dartmoor Line and regular passenger services would be introduced by the end of 2021, however Sampford Courtenay is not included in these plans and will not have services re-instated.
