The Northallerton to Eaglescliffe Line runs between the towns of Northallerton and Eaglescliffe. It connects the East Coast Main Line to the Tees Valley Line.

A number of old stations that used to serve towns and villages on the line were closed during the post-war modernisation of the railways.

[edit] Services

Services are run by TransPennine Express between Manchester Airport and Middlesbrough (and to Newcastle using the Durham Coast Line during diversions - it usually travels via Darlington and Durham on the East Coast Main Line). Services are roughly hourly. This is part of the North TransPennine route.

The line is also part of the Grand Central route between Sunderland and London Kings Cross.
