The first section of the Bishop Auckland and Weardale Railway, from a junction with the Stockton and Darlington Railway near and including the 1225yd Shildon Tunnel, opened as far as South Church (also known as St Andrew Auckland) in January 1842.[1] The station opened to passengers on 19 April 1842, and closed circa 1845,[2] the line having been extended to in late 1843.
Trains on the present-day Tees Valley Line pass the site of the station.
