Dinsdale railway station serves the village of Middleton St George in the borough of Darlington and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is located on the Tees Valley Line and is operated by Northern who provide all passenger train services.[1] It is closely linked with the history of the Stockton and Darlington railway.

The station was named after the village of Low Dinsdale, commonly called Dinsdale. In the early 19th century the station served Dinsdale Spa.

Services

As of December 2013, the station has two trains per hour each way (Mondays to Saturdays) to Middlesbrough & Saltburn and to Darlington with some additional services to Bishop Auckland (two-hourly) and Newcastle (a.m peak only).[2] One train per hour each way calls on Sundays. Passenger numbers have almost doubled between 2006 and 2012 due to improved services.

Station improvements are in progress as of 2013, including new CCTV cameras, new shelters, seating, passenger information screens and announcements, resurfaced platform areas and clearer signage at the station entrance.[3]
