HARTLEPOOL RAILWAY STATION

'Hartlepool railway station' serves the town of Hartlepool within the borough of Hartlepool and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is located on the Durham Coast Line 28 km (17¼ miles) north of Middlesbrough. The station is operated by Northern Rail who currently provide all of the stations passenger services.
The station has two platforms, but the second platform originally used for southbound trains has been disused for over 20 years. The footbridge linking the platforms was removed in the late 1990s. With the new Grand Central service between Sunderland and London, the second platform may come into use again in the future.
In September 2007 (previously December 2006 then May 2007), this station will be served by a new company called Grand Central with its open access permission to run three services a day in each direction between Sunderland and London.
