Heighington railway station
Heighington railway station located on Heighington Lane and serves Aycliffe Business Park (formerly Aycliffe Industrial Park) in the town of Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, England. The station is on the Tees Valley Line and is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. The station is on the Bishop Line and is somewhat unusual in that its platforms are staggered, sited either side of a level crossing.
Station facilities here have recently been improved as part of the Tees Valley Metro project. The package for this station included new fully lit waiting shelters, renewed station signage and the installation of CCTV. The long-line Public Address system (PA) has been renewed and upgraded with pre-recorded train announcements.
==History==
The station lies on the route of the Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&D), the first passenger railway. The station's historical claim to fame is that the first train on that line, the ''Locomotion No. 1'', was assembled here in 1825 before starting on its first journey.
The main line of the S&D was opened on 27 September 1825 from Phoenix Colliery at Etherley to Stockton, and this station was opened the same day, being originally named ''Aycliffe Lane''. It was subsequently renamed three times: first to ''Aycliffe and Heighington'', later, on 1 July 1871, it became ''Aycliffe'', although this name lasted for just over three years, because on 1 September 1874 it gained the present name of ''Heighington''.
