220003 "Wessex Voyager" (left) and 220034 "Yorkshire Voyager", Darlington Bank Top Station. 10.05.2007.

            On this particular day, services were not progressing to Newcastle but were terminating at Darlington, which gave the unusual sight of the two Voyagers occupying the bay platforms at the station.
Darlington Bank Top Station:
By the mid-1880's an earlier replacement structure of the 1860's was deemed inadequate and so the North Eastern Railway embarked on a major upgrade to facilities in the Bank Top area. This involved an ornate new station with an impressive three-span overall roof, part of which is shown here, new sidings and goods lines alongside and a new connecting line from the south end of the station. These improvements were completed on 1 July 1887. 
The new station, with its broad island platform was designed by T. E. Harrison, chief engineer, and William Bell, the architect of the North Eastern Railway. The station building has been a Grade II* listed Victorian structure since the 6th September 1977 and winner of the "Large Station of the Year" award in 2005. There are further proposals to upgrade the station and these are due to start imminently.
