As the world’s first passenger railway celebrates its 200th anniversary, a team of engineers are helping to protect the line of the historic site and key transport routes - helping commuters keep moving as work progresses on a major environmental project.

Northumbrian Water is constructing a new sewer pipeline as part of an £11.2m project to upgrade its wastewater network, which will help to protect the environment.

The new 9km pipeline will pass under the original path of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, now part of the existing train line that connects Bishop Auckland and Saltburn, and the A67, which runs parallel.
