The End of the Line
Image: © David Robinson Taken: 15 Apr 2014
A buffer stop marks the end of the short spur of track on what was the Leamside route between Tursdale Junction and Pelaw Junction. This was the first route of the main line from York - Newcastle, before the section between Tursdale Junction and Relly Mill junction at Durham was built in 1872. The bulk of the line closed in 1991, track was lifted in 2013.
