Durham is a railway station on the East Coast Main Line, which runs between London King's Cross and Edinburgh Waverley; it is situated 14 miles 3 chains (14.0 miles; 22.6 kilometres) south of Newcastle. The station serves the cathedral city of Durham, in County Durham, England. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by London North Eastern Railway.
Durham is a through station with two platforms, located north of the city centre on a hill. To the south, the railway line approaches the station via the eleven arched Durham Viaduct, a major local landmark. After a renovation between 2006 and 2008, the original stone station building is now the ticket hall and main concourse.
