Stanhope
Immediately beyond Stanhope station west end limit and the run round head-shunt is an accommodation vehicle level crossing, giving access to recreational facilities, which marks the start of the mothballed section of extant track running to Eastgate. A short distance further west there is the first bridge over the River Wear on this section. See image 74487. This view looks east from the level crossing to the two rakes of coaching stock being stored at the station at present; some on behalf of Eastern Rail Services which later were moved to their base in the former carriage sidings at Great Yarmouth.
