Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

Heighington is a railway station on the Tees Valley Line, which runs between Bishop Auckland and Saltburn via Darlington. The station, situated 5 miles 62 chains (9.3 km) north-west of Darlington, serves the villages of Aycliffe and Heighington in County Durham, England. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

The station is on the Bishop Line[1] which is a community railway from Bishop Auckland to Darlington.[2] It is somewhat unusual in that its platforms are staggered, sited either side of a level crossing.[3] The station has kept its listed manual signal box (which supervises the aforementioned crossing, the connection into the Hitachi plant and the single line section south of here through to Darlington), but this had its semaphore signals replaced by colour lights when the connection into the Hitachi factory was installed and commissioned in November 2014.[4]
