Durham Sunderland Line
The Durham to Sunderland Line was a railway line in the North East of England. The line no longer exists, but many features along its path are still visible.
==History==
From 1836 the railway line only ran from North Sunderland to Ryhope, a year later reaching Sherburn, and another year stretching to Shincliffe. The original Sunderland terminus was at Town Moor, a station later described as being a building that "has never been much admired for its archiutecture, nor for its convenience and accommodation". At this stage the railway was powered by rope hauling, until around 1857 when locomotives were used. In 1858 a new Sunderland station was opened at Hendon, about 880 yards south of the original terminus, but from 1879 passenger trains were diverted into a new Central station. 1893 saw the line reach Durham Elvet in a branch off before Shincliffe.
The line started to see decline after World War I and passenger services were stopped at the start of 1931,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Subterranea Britannia, Disused Stations )〕 the only exceptions being specials used to ferry in visitors during the annual Durham Miners Gala. In 1953 () the line saw its last ever train, a travelling circus from Europe. The station buildings at Durham Elvet were demolished in the mid-1960s.
