Weardale Railway

The Weardale Railway follows the path of the River Wear and passes through the spectacular scenery of Weardale. With historic connections to the Stockton & Darlington Railway, it was once a vital link to the industrial heart of Teesside. Steeped in a rich industrial heritage, the area is also renowned for magnificent and unspoilt views of the countryside.
The railway is a partnership between the majority stakeholder British American Railway Services, Durham County Council and the Weardale Railway Trust, with a united goal of delivering a reliable service and an enjoyable experience.
A fun day out for all, young or old, our uniformed staff wait to welcome you aboard authentic carriages hauled by our heritage locomotives. Relax with refreshments from the buffet then sit back and enjoy the experience.
The newly extended heritage service now offers departures from Bishop Auckland as well as Wolsingham and Frosterley before continuing to Stanhope.

The railway is available for hire, single carriage or whole train, steam or diesel. Details on application. Special events catered for.
