Hart railway station

Hart railway station served Hart and Crimdon in County Durham, England. It opened on 1 May 1839 as Crimdon on the Hartlepool Dock & Railway main line between Hartlepool and Haswell and was renamed Hart in October 1871.

The station later sat on several lines, including the Hartlepool–Haswell–Sunderland line, the Hartlepool–Ferryhill line, and the Durham Coast line. In 1905 a new coastal line opened nearby, changing how trains operated through Hart.

Hart station closed to passengers on 31 August 1953 and closed completely in September 1963, with the platforms removed by 1967. The Durham Coast Line remains in use today, and the old trackbed through Hart has been turned into the Hart to Haswell Walkway, extending toward Ryhope.
