Arriving by train or airport: storage and connections

Durham train station has no left-luggage facilities, so luggage storage in Durham needs to be arranged away from the station. The station is on North Road, on the East Coast main line, and is managed by LNER. Its ticket office is open 06:00-18:00 on weekdays, 07:00-17:00 on Saturdays, and 09:00-16:00 on Sundays.

Newcastle International Airport connects with Newcastle Central Station by Metro in 28 minutes, with services every 12 to 15 minutes for onward rail or bus connections to Durham. Durham is 15 minutes from Newcastle by rail. From Teesside International Airport, the number 12 bus runs to Darlington town centre. There, the number 7 Sapphire bus continues to Durham City, or a 10-minute walk leads to Darlington train station for rail connections. Journeys between Durham and Newcastle International or Teesside International take 30 to 45 minutes by public transport or car, depending on the time of day.

Exploring Durham's heritage sites bag-free

Durham Cathedral has no luggage or bag storage facilities, and bags larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm cannot enter. Larger luggage therefore needs another arrangement before visiting the cathedral. The Cathedral Bus links Durham train station with the city centre, marketplace, Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle.

Locker options vary across the other heritage sites. The Oriental Museum provides free lockers for belongings during a visit. Durham Castle, the Museum of Archaeology and the World Heritage Site Visitor Centre offer lockers using a £1 coin, which is returned after use. These facilities apply at the named attractions, while Durham Cathedral has neither lockers nor a bag-storage service, so its size restriction remains the key rule there.
