Spennymoor railway station

The station opened in November 1845 by the Clarence Railway. It was situated on the east side of Carr Street, formerly on the A6074. The station was initially served by market day passenger services from Tod Hills (or Todhills) to the west, but services were cut back to Byers Green from 1848. The service was again extended to Tod Hills in 1865, before the passenger service on the branch was withdrawn in 1867. The service was restored in 1878, when a new Byers Green station opened at the site of the original Tod Hills station. football special trains until the line
