Darlington to London Kings Cross

Let’s start with the basics: Advance single tickets will get you from Darlington to London and back for a better price than the Flexible option. Set a Ticket Alert so you don’t miss out on the savings. We won’t charge you a booking fee either and, if you think you’ve found a better price elsewhere, we’ve pledged to refund the difference.

Around 24 trains a day make the direct journey to London from Darlington in roughly two hours and forty-five minutes.

Sorry, you can’t buy a season ticket for this journey.

CrossCountry, Northern Rail and TransPennine Express all run lines through the station as well as LNER.

Head to London King’s Cross to access The East Coast Mainline. In addition, LNER, Hull Trains and Grand Central Trains have lines going through the station.

Please continue to wear a face covering on our trains and in our stations. Thank you for being considerate of other customers and our colleagues.

We're staying Covid Aware so that you can book and travel with confidence.
