Background
History
Opened as part of the North Eastern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923, and that company withdrew regular passenger services in 1939. Occasional excursions to the Durham Miners Gala joined the goods and Bearpark Colliery traffic until the last gala excursion in 1954, after the line had passed to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. Goods traffic continued until 1966 and the line was lifted in 1967.
