Work starts on Darlington’s £114m new rail station
Construction work has started on the £114m rail station at Darlington in County Durham. Buildings will be demolished to create more space beyond the existing station, with a bridge linking the old and new sites. Also planned are new platforms, interchange, concourse and multi- storey car park.
Car park pick-up and drop-off points on the western side of the station will be upgraded, with new road layouts and wider pavements to improve access on foot and by bike. Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: “After years of hard work and planning, we’re now at the point where we are demolishing to deliver – bringing down properties to pave the way for this fantastic station extension, providing new platforms and an entrance to tie it even closer to the town and its assets.
