Pedestrian & Cycle Route

Part of the National Cycle Route 1, this stretch of former railway line was an early example of electrification in Britain. The route was part of the Shildon - Newport (Middlesbrough) line that was electrified by NER in 1915 using 1500 V DC overhead. The electrification was removed in 1935, reduced coal traffic making renewal / upgrade uneconomic.
