***TRANSPORT***
*Air*
Teesside International Airport is located 5 mi (8 km) east of Darlington town centre; it serves County Durham and North Yorkshire. The airport was known as Durham Tees Valley Airport from 2004 until mid-2019. It has flights to a few domestic locations across the UK and international flights to some locations in Europe. Many private or general aviation flights use the airport. The airport has a Fire Training Centre.
The nearest large airports are Newcastle (42 mi (68 km)) and Leeds Bradford (62 mi (100 km)).
*Railway*
Darlington railway station is a principal stop on the East Coast Main Line; it is served by four train operating companies:
- London North Eastern Railway operates inter-city services to London Kings Cross, York, Durham, Newcastle, Edinburgh Waverley, Aberdeen and Inverness
- TransPennine Express runs inter-city services between Liverpool Lime Street and Newcastle, via York, Leeds and Manchester Victoria
- CrossCountry operates inter-city services between Edinburgh Waverley, Plymouth and Penzance, via Leeds, Sheffield, Derby, Birmingham New Street and Bristol Temple Meads
- Northern Trains runs local services on the Tees Valley Line, connecting all of the main settlements along the River Tees, including Bishop Auckland, Middlesbrough, Redcar Central and Saltburn. Services also stop at North Road, the town's original station.
- Darlington railway station has a large Victorian clock tower, which can be seen from most areas of the town.
*Roads*
Darlington is well connected to the North East's major trunk route, the A1(M), which bypasses the town to the west. It was completed in 1965, replacing the Great North Road route which is now known as the A167. The town is served by three closely-spaced junctions of the A1(M): junctions 57 (A66(M)), 58 (A68) and 59 (A167), which is also the access exit for Darlington motorway services (Newton Park), with an on-site filling station, hotel and restaurant.
The town is also close to other major trunk routes, including the A66 trans-Pennine route connecting Darlington to Stockton-on-Tees and the A19.
The £5.9 million 5 mi (8 km) A66 Darlington eastern bypass opened on 25 November 1985. The Darlington Eastern Transport Corridor, linking the Central Park regeneration zone (Haughton Road) and Darlington town centre to a new roundabout on the A66, was opened in the summer of 2008.
*Buses*
Bus routes in the town are provided mostly by Arriva North East; its services connect Darlington to neighbouring towns and cities such as Durham, Bishop Auckland, Richmond, Stockton and Middlesbrough. There are also two smaller independent operators running services: Dales & District and Hodgsons Buses.
Stagecoach North East operated originally in the town until 2007, when it sold its operations to Arriva. Stagecoach returned to Darlington in 2023, following the decision by Arriva to end its service 12 from Hurworth to Middleton St. George and Teesside Airport; it took over this service on 23 September 2023, renumbering it as route 6 (6A on Sundays) and extending it to Stockton, via Eaglescliffe, Yarm and Ingleby Barwick.
