The '''NorthallertonNorthallerton–Eaglescliffe to Eaglescliffe Lineline''' runs between the towns of [[{{rws|Northallerton]]}} and [[{{rws|Eaglescliffe]]}} stations. It connects the [[East Coast Main Line]] to the [[Tees Valley Line]]. It was built by the ''[[Leeds Northern Railway'']] as part of their main line from [[Leeds railway station{{rws|Leeds]]}} to [[{{rws|Stockton railway station (|County Durham)|Stockton]]}} (via [[Harrogate railway station{{rws|Harrogate]]}} and {{rws|Ripon}}) which opened on 2 June 1852,<ref>{{cite book|author=Body, G|title=PSL Field Guides - Railways of the Eastern Region Volume 2|publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd|location=[[Wellingborough]]|isbn=1-85260-072-1|year=1988|page=137}}</ref> although the connection to the ECML at the Northallerton end was not opened for a further four years.
