Disused Leamside line near Bowburn, looking south
This is the Leamside Line, which previously linked the East Coast Mainline south of Durham with Heworth in Gateshead, passing through Washington.
With passenger services withdrawn in 1954, it was consigned to freight use only (as a 'Mineral Railway' for coal). It had served as the East Coast line until 1872, when it was diverted to the west of Durham city.
This section, south of High Shincliffe towards the mainline, has already been made into a single track line and is due to be removed altogether imminently. The trackbed is not to be sold and all plans to reinstate the line have been deferred to at least 2019.
