Weardale Railway

Weardale Railway operates between Bishop Auckland and Stanhope, a distance of 16 miles; the remaining 3 miles are currently non-operational. There are intermediate stations at Frosterley, Kingfisher, Wolsingham and Witton le Wear. The seasonal passenger services are operated by a mixture of Heritage DMUs and a Pacer, which provides excellent views of the outstanding Dales scenery and the multiple river crossings. There are plans to reintroduce steam-hauled services in the future using a locomotive owned by the Weardale Railway Trust and which is currently under repair. Platform 1 cafe is open Wednesday through to Sunday, 1000 to 1600. The Trust Shop and Platform 2 craft market are open on running days.
