Today's Trains

No.6 will haul trains from Andrews House to Sunniside, East Tanfield and return at 11, 12.15, 1.30, 2.45 and 4 pm (ie B timetable for Mothers' Day - the leaflet incorrectly states the A timetable with 4 trains).

This is the first day of operation after the temporary closure to enable us to tackle a backlog of maintenance, which has largely been done.
