A GHOSTLY railway story will be on sale for the first time this weekend.
In 1845, Thomas Munro Winter, a ticket clerk at Darlington's North Road railway station, shot himself.
A few years later, a railway policeman called James Durham was attacked by a ghost in the porter's cellar. Ever since then, visitors to the station have reported strange happenings and fleeting glimpses of a dark figure in the corner of the ticket office. For the first time in 100 years the true story has been written down.
The book will be available for sale from Saturday at the Darlington Railway Centre and the Museum, in North Road.
It costs £1.95, but on Saturday, it will be sold for a special price of £1.60.
Visitors to the museum will be able to meet the authors Irene Macleod and Olive Howe.
Proceeds will go towards the railway museum.
