View from the end of the platform at Bishop Auckland terminus on 30 September 2010. The station is used by Northern DMUs on the route east to Darlington, Middlesbrough and Saltburn. The line on the left is the former Wearhead branch where a regular train service has recently been introduced by the Weardale Railway between Bishop Auckland and Stanhope. The platform used by trains on the Weardale line can be seen in the background beyond the buffer stops and, while the route between the two platforms is currently 'rather circuitous', discussions are taking place on the establishment of a direct fenced pathway between the two.
