Lartington Station
Lartington Station
1/4
To the rear of the main station building is a goods shed.
The first station beyond Tees Valley Junction on the Stainmore line was Lartington. It boasted a fine main building with extensive goods facilities to its rear.
Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, once alighted on its platform en route to a shoot on the Duke of Cleveland’s estate. Perhaps he was met off the train by Thomas Reah who was station master there in 1890.
