Shildon 2nd railway station (site), County Durham Known as "Daniel Adamson's coach house", this is claimed to be the world's first purpose built passenger railway terminus. The arches for the passenger shed can still be clearly made out, although now infilled. A single railway track ran into the building from the far side.
It was a small scale and short lived service dating to c.1832-3. Daniel Adamson ran a private horse-drawn coach along the Surtees railway (now a footpath), which ran onto the Stockton and Darlington Railway near the current Shildon station. However, the S&DR soon took over the running of all services using conventional steam-hauled trains, and this passenger service was abandoned.
