Newton Aycliffe is a town in County Durham, England. Founded in 1947 under the New Towns Act of 1946, the town sits about five miles to the north of Darlington and ten miles to the south of the city of Durham. It is the oldest new town in the north of England, and together with the bordering Aycliffe Village (to the south) and the north part of School Aycliffe (to the west), forms the civil parish of Great Aycliffe.
At the 2001 census, Great Aycliffe had a population of 26,385, although in 2007 Great Aycliffe Town Council reported this had risen to 29,000. It is the largest town within the Sedgefield constituency. Within a radius of 10 miles (16 km) are several towns and villages including Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Shildon and Heighington. To the south of the town is the village of Aycliffe. Newton comes from 'New Town'. Aycliffe Village is near to the A1(M) junction with the A167 (former A1).
On the edge of the town is the Bishop Auckland to Darlington railway branch line which is part of the 1825 Stockton and Darlington Railway. George Stephenson's steam locomotive Locomotion No 1 was placed on the rails close to Newton Aycliffe near to where Heighington station is. The Great North Road passed (A1) through the town until 1969.
The original Woodham was a medieval village, although apart from a few low mound earthworks (on private land) there is no trace of this original village. It was located on the northern side of the Woodham Burn stream and to the East of the A167 that cuts through the site in a north-south direction.
There are no streets in Newton Aycliffe (no places of residence with the suffix 'street'.). The main road which runs through the centre of the town is 'Central Avenue'. There are many Roads, Closes, Crescents and even a Parade. In the older parts of the town the streets are named after Bishops of Durham and Saints: Van Mildert (road); St. Aidan's (walk); Biscop (Crescent). Some are named after prominent local families such as Shafto (way), Eden (road), and Bowes (Road) for example. Some are even named after the movers and shakers of the New Town Movement such as Lord Lewis Silkin (Silkin Way) and Lord Beveridge (Beveridge Way).
The A167 (old A1) is the main road to the town, it runs to Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne (30 miles) in the north and Darlington (8 miles) and Northallerton in the south. The A1(M) is near to the town and runs to Edinburgh in the north and London to the south, it provides as an alternative route to Durham and Newcastle in the north. The A689 is also near the town and it runs to Bishop Auckland in the west and Hartlepool and Teesside in the east.
The Newton Aycliffe railway station, which is on the Tees Valley Line, has train services provided by Northern to Bishop Auckland and Saltburn. There are connections to East Coast services to Edinburgh and London at Darlington, connections to Grand Central services to Northallerton, York and London at Eaglescliffe, and connections to Northern Rail services to Hartlepool, Sunderland and Newcastle at Thornaby.

UK: FUJITSU TO CLOSE MICROCHIP PLANT IN NEWTON AYCLIFFE
English/Nat
A Japanese-owned microchip plant in northeastern England will close in December with the loss of six-hundred jobs.
The Fujitsu plant in Newton Aycliffe opened in 1991 in an area struggling with high unemployment.
Company officials blamed global adverse conditions in the high technology industrial sector, which also led to the announcement six weeks ago that a Siemens microchip plant in north England was to close with the loss of 1,100 jobs.
Fujitsu, which has 300 plants worldwide, has been hurt by the Asian financial crisis.
The microchip industry was one of the mainstays of the Japanese economy, but it has suffered as Asian economies crumble.
British government officials are planning an aid package to help market the plant and retrain workers.
The plant is also located in Prime Minister Tony Blair's parliamentary constituency.
Mr Blair said Fujitsu, a Japanese company, and other semi-conductor producers had had to cut capacity around the world, including in Japan itself where Fujitsu had cut production lines at several plants..
SOUNDBITE: (English)
There's no doubt at all that both the Japanese situation and the Asian economic crisis, what is happening in Russia, these are matters that as people can see are affecting the whole of the world economy but the fundamentals of the British economy are really very strong. Fujitsu is in a particular market, the semiconductor market which has collapsed all round the world. And the prices for the last two years have been deteriorating so greatly so that plants, literally in most of the countries where this production has been carried on, have either been cut back or closed. But, in respect of the British economy, we shouldn't forget that the actual fundamentals of that economy are very very strong. And there are many sectors where jobs are still being created and investment is still being made.
SUPER CAPTION: Tony Blair, British Prime Minister
Trade Secretary Peter Mandelson expressed his regret but said the British government was not to blame.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
This is a setback and it is borne entirely of world-wide conditions, the specific circumstances relating to these specific products, of which we have seen a collapse in their price and markets throughout the world. It is not a reflection on Britain.
SUPER CAPTION: Peter Mandelson, British Trade Minister
The plant closure will result in around 600 job losses.
Disgruntled workers expressed their dismay at the prospect of losing their livelihoods.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Seven-and-a-half years I've been here, that's at my age, no chance(of getting another job).
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop, Fujitsu worker
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Man: It's shocking.
Woman: It's not the Japanese. The Japanese are brilliant to work for.
Man: Yeah, excellent excellent. They really are genuine people. The English management has destroyed a good factory.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop, Fujitsu workers
In a letter to workers, the company says it has been losing 50 (m) million pounds (80 (m) million U-S dollars) a year since 1996, when the microchip industry first took a downturn.

Network rail autobalaster in action.....with problems @ newton aycliffe 18/08/13
the first run dropped the ballast in between the rails,
the second run pushing them deposited the ballast on the ends of the sleepers,
unfortunately for some reason one of the ballasters decided to open and deposit more ballast again in between the rails,this grounded the operation and needed to be removed by hand,so to not derail the train.
you can see the wagons wobble as they run over the excess ballast
