About Weardale Railways Cic

The Weardale Railway follows the path of the River Wear and passes through the spectacular scenery of Weardale. With historic connections to the Stockton & Darlington Railway, it was once a vital link to the industrial heart of Teesside. Steeped in a rich industrial heritage, the area is also renowned for magnificent and unspoilt views of the countryside.

The railway is a partnership between the majority stakeholder British American Railway Services, Durham County Council and the Weardale Railway Trust, with a united goal of delivering a reliable service and an enjoyable experience.

A fun day out for all, young or old, our uniformed staff wait to welcome you aboard authentic carriages hauled by our heritage locomotives. Relax with refreshments from the buffet then sit back and enjoy the experience.

Our heritage services at present are run by Weardale Railway Heritage Services Ltd. , a wholly owned subsidiary of the Weardale Railway Trust. Services are running throughout the summer season between Stanhope and Witton-le-Wear, with stations at Frosterley and Wolsingham. We hope to reopen the line to Bishop Auckland in the near future.
