Fresh computer generated images have been unveiled to show how a transformative station project will see cutting-edge stairways and a state-of-the-art entrance hall.
Darlington Station’s £150million overhaul will include two new platforms on the Eastern side of the station, and a new car park, when complete in 2025.
Now engineers have revealed new imagery of the station’s East Side – with a walkway route via the roof arches of the old station.

The station redevelopment includes a multi-storey car park, transport interchange and gateway entrance connected to Central Park
Once finished, there will be secure parking for more than 600 cars with disabled bays and electric car charging points available.
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: “Giving Darlington the gateway it deserves is vital to its future and the wider region’s need for better connections.
“It’s great to see how Bank Top will be transformed – we already have spades in the ground and the foundations of the new entrance hall and car park going in.

“Our rail network has been restrained for too long – and this immense project with its cutting-edge interchange will cut journey times and give Darlington a station it can be proud of.
“It will also boost investment and make our region even more attractive to investors.”
The project is still on track to be complete in time for the 2025 Stockton and Darlington Railway bicentennial celebrations.
