Romaldkirk railway station
Former railway station in County Durham, England
Romaldkirk railway station was situated on the Tees Valley Railway between Barnard Castle and Middleton-in-Teesdale. It served the village of Romaldkirk.
The line opened to passenger traffic on 12 May 1868, but Romaldkirk station had not been constructed by then.[1][2] Construction was reported as being nearly completed in mid June 1869 with the station due to open in a week.[3]
The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1936 to 1939 and possibly one for some of 1934.[4]
The line and station closed to passengers on 30 November 1964 and completely on 5 April 1965.[5]
