Background
History
The station opened as Belmont on 15 April 1844 by the Newcastle & Darlington Junction Railway. It was situated north of the railway bridge over the A690, close to junction 62 of the A1. The station name was changed to Belmont Junction in 1852. The station ceased to have a purpose when the North Eastern Railway opened its branch from to , on which the present day Durham station is located. This station is far closer to the centre of Durham than the former station at Gilesgate was and thus the Gilesgate branch and Belmont Junction closed to all traffic on 1 April 1857.
