The Weardale railway originally ran from Bishop Auckland to Eastgate. Passenger services ceased in 1953, and freight in 1993. At that point, a trust was formed to preserve and run the line privately. As a heritage railway, the project has suffered some ups and downs in fortune, but is now running during the summer between Bishop Auckland West and Stanhope. This platform at Witton-le-Wear has been constructed in anticipation of a station being opened at this location.
