Summary by Ground News
The Darlington to Barnard Castle line ran from Darlington's North Road station to Hopetown Junction. The line crossed the River Tees at Piercebridge, where cattle and coal were unloaded for the rural community.

The most intriguing of the stations is the Broomaw stop, which is today hidden beneath overgrowth on private land.
