Yarm Depots railway station was a railway station on a short branch line on the original route of the Stockton & Darlington Railway (S&DR), which served both the village of Egglescliffe in County Durham and the market town of Yarm (across the River Tees) in North Yorkshire, England.^[1]

History

The station was originally the terminus of a branch line of the Stockton and Darlington Railway from the junction near Allens West (Yarm) station on the Bishop Line between Bishop Auckland and Saltburn-by-the-Sea via Shildon and Darlington in County Durham. The line ran through the village of Egglescliffe until it reached the station at Urlay Nook Road. It was used for the transporting of coal and limestone around the local area. It was opened by the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1830 and began to see both mineral, freight and passenger traffic using the 1 mile-long branch line to Yarm Depots from 1830 until the closure to passengers in 1862 and only a decade later. The entire branch line was closed to all mineral and freight traffic in 1872. The line was lifted shortly after and the site of the station has since been occupied by South View and The Crescent housing estates.^[2]^[3]

Present day

Since closure to all rail traffic, the trackbed has since been redeveloped with housing, road alignments and parks. Some parts of the line are still traceable on maps, especially near the Cleveland Bay pub and near Allens West station where the former junction for the Yarm branch began.
