South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway This line is closed. A short section of track has been re-layed at Kirkby Stephen to the north of the station site. There is a hope to open the station (the main building remains intact) and the Eden Valley Railway through to Appleby. |

From Tebay to Barnard Castle and from there to near Bishop Auckland. The line was built to carry iron ore from Cumbria to the ironworks in Durham.
