History
The station opened on 9 March 1840 by the Durham Junction Railway. It was situated between Marks Lane and Meadows Lane. It was never mentioned in Bradshaw's railway guide but it was mentioned in Robinson's and Branding Junction's guides. The station closed on 19 June 1844 but a siding continued use as a dumping ground until the late twentieth century.[1]

gollark: Multiparameter functions actually just return a function which takes another value when fed an argument.
gollark: Does your thing have currying?
gollark: Oh, the arity, right.
