Yarm is a railway station on the Northallerton–Eaglescliffe Line, which connects the East Coast Main Line and Tees Valley Line.

History[]
The station was originally opened by the Leeds Northern Railway on 25 May 1852. It was closed by British Rail on 4 January 1960.[1] The former station building is still in place today, and is situated on the north side of Yarm Viaduct, in County Durham.
The imposing red brick structure consists of 43 arches, and spans a total of 690 metres (2,260 ft) over the River Tees. The viaduct was designed a Grade II listed structure on 23 June 1966.[2]
The current station was opened by Railtrack on 19 February 1996, and is located 1+1⁄8 miles (1.8 km) south of the former.[3][1]

The station is unstaffed, but a self-service ticket machine is available, which allows intending passengers to buy tickets before boarding or collect advance purchase/pre-paid tickets. There are waiting shelters, a customer help point, timetable posters and real-time information displays on both platforms. There is also a large free car park.
Both platforms have step-free access, and can be accessed by ramps from the road bridge on Green Lane.[4]
