Some years back I made a brief visit to Darlington Station, more for it's historic interest than the activities. The station was commendably clean and tidy and the staff very friendly. The variety of stock was rather poor and freight trains hurtled through on the avoiding lines. One northbound Colas Freight 66 went through the station with a train, but, Sod's Law struck again and I was on the wrong side of the station area at the time 
. However, I did take a very few pictures and they may be something in them of interest to others:-
The Historic Clock Tower Bell.
Now an extinct type - a class 143 rail-bus.
Three pictures of a Cross-country unit consisting of a pair of class 220 sets.
The join in the middle...........
Yet another Class 220 just before departure northwards.
Class 92 031 propels a train for Kings Cross away from Darlington. It wears the short lived silver-grey East Coast livery
Class 43 318 HST, also in the short-lived silver/grey East Coast livery used during a period of Government control, enters Darlington Station with a train originating in Scotland and bound for Kings Cross. The end of the train can be seen to be still on the station avoiding line as the unit snakes across to the platform road.
Hope you enjoyed these.
