Opposite side of the river, Riverside Park, they were open in the early 90's as I used to walk my dog down there, wasn't as overgrown then, you could clearly see the tunnels, they don't go far as they've been filled in.
Walking the line where they should've ran the Metro

Haswell to Hart on now. It's a cracking walk that
Castle Eden to Thornley line mentioned. Goes past my house.

Starting again now on ch5+1 for anyone who missed it. Well worth a watch if you're in to local and/or railway history. @Alan BStard ?

Was watching it.
A big part of my childhood the railway. I lived in the last miners cottage in Horden and saw the Flying Scotsman go by from there. I also lived in the street where Horden's old railway station was. My Dad recalled the Queen coming to Horden Station on her way to some ceremony at Peterlee in the 60s. In the 1970s miners strike I went with me fatha picking coal off the pit yard railway tracks - imagine a risk assessment on that. Horden's Station is on the verge of reopening for anybody that didn't know.
