Yarm is a railway station on the Northallerton–Eaglescliffe Line, which connects the East Coast Main Line and Tees Valley Line. The station, situated 12 miles 7 chains (19 km) north-east of Northallerton, serves the market town of Yarm, Borough of Stockton-on-Tees in North Yorkshire, England. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by TransPennine Express.
History
[edit]The station was originally opened by the Leeds Northern Railway on 25 May 1852. It was closed by British Rail on 4 January 1960.[1] The former station building is still in place today, and is situated on the north side of Yarm Viaduct, in Egglescliffe, County Durham.[2]
The imposing red brick structure consists of 43 arches, and spans a total of 690 metres (2,260 ft) over the River Tees. The viaduct was designed a Grade II listed structure on 23 June 1966.[3]
The current station was opened by Railtrack on 19 February 1996, and is located 1+1⁄8 miles (1.8 km) south of the former.[4][1]
Facilities
[edit]
The station is unstaffed, but a self-service ticket machine is available, which allows intending passengers to buy tickets before boarding or collect advance purchase/pre-paid tickets. The machine is located on platform 1 (bound for York/Manchester Piccadilly). There are waiting shelters, a customer help point, timetable posters and real-time information displays on both platforms. There is also a large free car park.
Both platforms have step-free access, and can be accessed by ramps from the road bridge on Green Lane.[5]
Services
[edit]As of the December 2022 timetable change, the station is served by an hourly service between Saltburn and Manchester Airport via York.[6]
From Monday to Saturday, as of the August 2023 timetable, trains can run for up to every hour in each direction. Sunday services can range from every 2-3 hours in each direction.
