Virtually all the services from here are operated by Go North East. There was a major modernisation of the local fleet in 2019, with new double deck buses, one of which is shown in the centre here.

Site of Consett station, 1988
View NE, towards Annfield Plain, Birtley and Newcastle, also Pelaw and Tyne Dock: ex-NER line - passenger from Newcastle, goods from Tyne Dock. The latter included the celebrated heavy iron-ore workings to Consett Steelworks, which were on the Blackhill line, behind and to the west of this view. Consett station was closed to passengers from 23/5/55, but until 1980 this view would be full of railway sidings and the station buildings survived until then at least.

No more spice
The building which once formed the end terrace has been demolished. It was last occupied by Spice Dinner, an Indian Takeaway. Must have been a very hot curry to cause this amount of damage.
