CONSTRUCTION OF a new station at Horden on the Durham Coast line has begun.
The £10.55 million station near Peterlee is planned to open in spring 2020. Funding is from Durham County Council along with £4.4 million from the Department for Transport’s New Stations Fund and a grant from the North East Local Enterprise Partnership.
The first stage of work will see the creation of a 139-space car park as well as bus stops. Work will then follow to develop the station, which will feature two 100-metre platforms with shelters connected by an accessible footbridge.
The project will also see the creation of a new road, footpath and cycleway. It is predicted that more than 70,000 passengers could use the station each year.
