Redmile railway station served the villages of Redmile and Barkestone-le-Vale, Nottinghamshire and also Belvoir Castle. It was on the Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway. It opened in 1879 and closed to passengers in 1951.
The station remained in use for oil deliveries into the 1980s. These were for the Redmile Petroleum Storage Depot, which was originally constructed in the late 1930s and later expanded. A pump station was added in 1943 as part of the GPSS pipeline network. The two tank farm sites were operated by Texaco until they were emptied in the early 1990s, after the end of the Cold War. There were four 500 and four 800-ton tanks and they were originally equipped with rail and road loading facilities. The rail loading facilities were removed in the 1980s, but the road loading gantry still operated until the tank farms were closed.
