Crook By-pass
Image: © Oliver Dixon Taken: 13 Feb 2007
Some old railways become cycle paths Image, some even take up a new life as a metro line Image, but the worst fate that could possibly become a disused railway is to become a road! This is the Crook By-pass (A690) opened 2004 which at this point follows the line of the old railway which formerly ran from Bishop Auckland and the Wear Valley Junction through Crook and over into the Deerness Valley.
