Durham–Sunderland line

The line no longer exists, but many features along its path are still visible.

The original Sunderland terminus was at Town Moor, a station later described as being a building that "has never been much admired for its architecture, nor for its convenience and accommodation".

1893 saw the line reach Durham Elvet by way of a branch off before Shincliffe.

In 1953, [1] the line west of Murton saw its last ever train, a travelling circus from Europe.

Where the line crossed the River Wear, the abutments of the bridge can still be seen.
