Eaglescliffe is a railway station on the Tees Valley Line, which runs between Bishop Auckland and Saltburn via Darlington.
The station, situated 8 miles 63 chains (8.79 mi; 14.1 km) east of Darlington, serves the village of Eaglescliffe, Borough of Stockton-on-Tees in County Durham, England.
The previous line ran on the east side of Yarm Road, through the grounds of Preston Hall.
In the following years the surrounding area came to be known interchangeably as Eaglescliffe (on road signs) or Egglescliffe (often referring to the original village or in building names).
[3][4][5][6] As part of the scheme, Eaglescliffe station would have received improved service to Darlington and Saltburn (1–2 to 4 trains per hour) and new rollingstock.
[3] The station would also have received a new ticket office, waiting facility, outdoor shelters, electronic information displays, and possible extension to the car park[7] (Improvements eventually occurred after cancellation, with plans for the new footbridge starting in 2024[8]).
[14][15][16] The ticket office was later re-opened on 3 April 2018, and is now managed by Northern Trains, with staff provided by Grand Central.
[20] As of the June 2021 timetable change, there are four trains per day heading south towards London King's Cross via York.
