Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fencehouses railway station (site), County Durham
Opened in 1841 by the Durham Junction Railway on the line from Washington to Rainton Meadows, local services initially ran to Gateshead. From 1844, the Newcastle and Darlington Junction Railway via Leamside connected to this line just south of Fencehouses, and so it became part of the East Coast Main Line from London to Newcastle (until 1872 when the current line via Durham was opened). View north towards Penshaw and Newcastle. The station had two parallel platforms on the far side of the former level crossing. It was demolished in 1966 but the track was in situ until 2012.
