Background
History
The first section of the Bishop Auckland and Weardale Railway, from a junction with the Stockton and Darlington Railway near and including the 1225 yd Shildon Tunnel, opened as far as South Church (also known as St Andrew Auckland) in January 1842. The station opened to passengers on 19 April 1842, and closed circa 1845, the line having been extended to in late 1843. Trains on the present-day Tees Valley Line pass the site of the station.
