The Northern 13.40 service to Saltburn leaves Bishop Auckland on 30 September 2010. Almost all of the area shown in this photograph was once covered by the great triangular station and goods yard that stood in the midst of the complex of lines that met at this once important railway junction in County Durham see image 19360. Nowadays, in addition to the Bishop Auckland - Darlington - Saltburn services, a newly constructed platform (off picture to the left) dubbed Bishop Auckland West, is used by trains from Stanhope operated by the Weardale Railway.
