Well, it's more of an issue of having to walk back up the 'hill' to get back to the station. At that point I'd rather just catch the X1 to Bishop which takes basically the same amount of time anyway! (Or even faster when you inevitably spend half an hour waiting to get in to the station!)Biggest issue with Darlington Station for me is the automatic ticket gates which force you to stay in the station, I understand why stations have them but it's annoying when you have a lengthy connection time, recently looked into journeys that had a 50 minute connection time at Bradford Interchange, there's literally nothing you can do within that time as everything else is on the opposite side of the gates, that's why I like York Station as if I have a bit of a wait I can go outside and do whatever, spotting usually.
