From the Wikipedia article
Durham is a railway station on the East Coast Main Line, which runs between London King's Cross and Edinburgh Waverley; it is situated 14 miles 3 chains (14.0 miles; 22.6 kilometres) south of Newcastle. The station serves the cathedral city of Durham, in County Durham, England. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by London North Eastern Railway. Durham is a through station with two platforms, located north of the city centre on a hill. To the south, the railway line approaches the station via the eleven arched Durham Viaduct, a major local landmark. After a renovation between 2006 and 2008, the original stone station building is now the ticket hall and main concourse.

Background
History
The city of Durham has been served by four stations, only one of which survives today: On grouping in 1923, the stations came under the control of the London and North Eastern Railway. Passenger services to and via Penshaw were withdrawn by British Railways, under the Beeching cuts, on 4 May 1964. The East Coast Main Line through Durham was electrified in 1991.
