Railways of the North East 1975-1995 Volume 3: Teesside

In this third volume of a three-part series, Michael Rhodes is our guide to the railways of Teesside, including the Durham Coast route south of Hartlepool, Tees Yard, the lines from Middlesbrough to Darlington and Saltburn and from Eaglescliffe to Northallerton and Redmire, and the Boulby and Eastgate branches. Tees Yard and many other railway and rail-connected industrial locations around Teesside are covered, many of which no longer exist today. The railways of the North East changed beyond all recognition in the two decades between 1975 and 1995. More than twenty rail-served collieries closed, as well as numerous quarries and two integrated steel works. In this series, Michael Rhodes records the rich patchwork of railway lines in the region, many of which have now disappeared.
