If station ticking an easy enough walk to tick them off. Otherwise I’d not bother, much better walks to do on the line!

No trip to the North East is complete without a trip on the Esk Valley Line!
Not going all the way to Whitby today, but going for a walk between two stations on the line I’ve not done before!

1) Horden is very well used! Great to see new stations being a success!
2) The new platform at Hartlepool is now in use bringing with it more much needed services!
3) That new train order for Northern can’t come soon enough!

Got myself a nice £4.20 advance to Darlington less than 15 minutes before the train was due. Rather surprised to find one close the train departure time
