Upcoming changes to step-free access:
From Monday 17 August, there will be reduced step-free access at Durham station due to a major lift refurbishment.
The lift on platform 1 (for trains to Darlington and the south) will be out of service for approximately 5 weeks. If you require step-free access to and from this platform a temporary pedestrian route is available. Please allow extra time before your journey if you require step-free access and speak to staff if you need assistance.
