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, marking 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. This view is looking west from the level crossing along the first significantly overgrown section of mothballed track. The river bridge is located just beyond the tree on the left as the track curves behind it. See image 74397 for the view in the opposite direction.
