Looking west through zoom lens from the footbridge at Stanhope station, Weardale Railway, County Durham with 67021 at the head of UK Railtours excursion from London King's Cross, just arrived on the afternoon of Saturday, 11th May 2019. The line once extended to Wearhead and closed to passengers in 1953. This view is looking west towards the mothballed section as far as Eastgate for which the Weardale Railway have plans to extend to although it will be several years from now until this dream is realised - if at all.
