Stanhope
UK Railtours' excursion from London Kings Cross just arrived at Stanhope station, the current terminus of the Weardale Railway in County Durham, on 11th May 2019. The line originally ran to a terminus at Wearhead and closed to passengers in 1953. Since partially reopening as a heritage railway from Bishop Auckland as far as Stanhope, its vicissitudes have been manifold, too complex to precis here so may I suggest you google Weardale Railway if you would like further information.
