To get to NRM Shildon from York i had to change at Darlington but what an unexpected bonus this was as the station is very interesting with a great overall roof. Of course Darlington is one of the places at the very start of the railways, as the first railway to use steam locomotives instead of horses for passenger trains was from Stockton to Darlington.
You can see my photos taken at Darlington station here as well as some taken at Shildon station.
