Hello,

I was trying to figure out if Darlington, and Durham stations have assisted dispatch. Any help with this would be great.

Thanks

Certainly for LNER and CrossCountry Darlington uses dispatchers, I think TPE as well but wouldn't swear to it. Northern is self-dispatch.

TPE self despatch at Darlington, unsure about Durham.

Regards LNER staff can also self despatch when instructed via control due to staff shortages.

Ah cheers, I almost said everyone but Northern but then had a sudden thought that I couldn't certainly remember seeing staff dispatching TPE services hence my equivocation!

TPE are dispatched at Newcastle by LNER
Chester-Le-Street, Durham & Darlington are all self dispatch
