Chester-le-Street is a railway station on the East Coast Main Line, which runs between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley. The station is situated 71 miles (115.7 kilometres) from York, serving the market town of Chester-le-Street in County Durham, England.

The Team Valley Line of the North Eastern Railway, which connected Newton Hall Junction, near Durham, with Gateshead was authorised in 1848. However, the line was not opened until 2 March 1868, with the powers having been renewed in 1862. At first only freight trains used the route, but passenger services began on 1 December 1868, with the station opening on the same day. The station was the third station in the town, although the other two closed before the current station opened.

In the 1960s, the station was listed for closure as part of the Beeching Axe, which led to it being mentioned in the song Slow Train by Flanders and Swann. However, the station still remains open today.
