Imagine the confusion for visitors, parking at the Parkway station, asking for a ticket to Durham and then finding out they'll be travelling all the way up to Newcastle to change and come back done again.
Parkway stations are stations that serve a P&R (Belmont Park and Ride) or other form of car park rather than serving a town. I'd assume the idea would be you'd use the P&R and bus towards Durham but alternatively you could use the train to Newcastle, Sunderland or anywhere really that the station serves.
There's quite a few parkway stations around.
