Shildon Railway Station

Shildon railway station is on the Stockton and Darlington Railway in North East England and serves the town of Shildon in County Durham, England built by Timothy Hackworth. The station is on the Tees Valley Line and is operated by Northern, which provides all passenger train services. The station is on the Bishop Line, 9 + 3 /4mi north west of. Station facilities here have been improved as part of the Tees Valley Metro project. The package for this station included new fully lit waiting shelters, digital CIS displays, renewed station signage and the installation of CCTV. The long-line Public Address system (PA) has been renewed and upgraded with pre-recorded train announcements. The station is unstaffed and all tickets must be purchased on the train or prior to travel, as there are no ticketing facilities here. Step-free access is available to both platforms via ramps, which were added in 2003 when the station was rebuilt in conjunction with the construction of the Shildon Locomotion Museum, sited alongside it on land formerly occupied by the sidings of the Shildon railway works. The manual signal box here controls the immediate station area (including the siding connections into the museum), along with the single track section through Shildon tunnel to the west to the terminus at and the junction there with the now privately owned and operated Weardale Railway to Stanhope.
