Background
History
The station opened in 1885 as a stop on a new single-track line built by the North Eastern Railway linking to Burnhouse Junction, where it joined the earlier Byers Green Branch built by the Clarence Railway (a predecessor of the NER) in 1837. Beyond Burnhouse Junction, passenger trains continued over the former CR route to . In 1925 the station was served by eight trains to Ferryhill and seven to Bishop Auckland. However, due to the rural nature of the western section of this new through route, traffic between and Bishop Auckland was fairly light when passenger services on the line west of Spennymoor were withdrawn.
