Follow signs to Northallerton off the A19. head past Allertonshire school and turn left at the first roundabout and then right immediately after at the second one. head up past the prison until the top of the street and turn right just before you reah the station. The loop line is just ahead of you and turn left to park in the car park.

Northallerton has a good sized station car park which is priced at £4.40 (April 2013) for all day. If it is full park in one of the many town car parks and walk from there. It is perfectly safe to leave your car here. There is however very close to the car park entrance a privately owned car park which only charges £2.50 for the day.

There are regular Transpennine service from Manchester Airport, York, Newcastle and Middlesbrough. Natonal express operate a two hourly or so service from London Kings Cross and Newcastle/Edinburgh.

Northallerton Station has toilets, a small newsagent counter, waiting rooms and the town centre is a five minute walk for shopping.

There is the 'Station Hotel' just outside the station.

North East Gen

It can be hard to photograph trains heading North in the morning due to the sun however you can find shade to photograph from there. Videoing should not be problem although there is a minor road underneath the station which produces a little noise but not much.
The level crossing over the loop line is good for southbound trains but vegetation can get in the way at times for Northbound trains. You can stand on the bank by the car park for an elevated shot.
