Interestingly according to Dewicks Complete Atlas of Railway Station Names, Hart doesn't appear to serve the Durham Coast route, only the line from the Ferryhill direction....

The OS 1:2500 map clearly shows platforms at Hart on both lines (which were running parallel at this point). Of course that doesn't establish whether Durham Coast trains actually stopped there! The station appeared before 1897 and disappeared between 1966 and 1972.

UPDATE: I found a 1947 LNER timetable online, which confirmed that West Hartlepool to Sunderland via Seaham stoppers (as well as Ferryhill Line trains) did call at Hart.

Been doing a bit of digging also and just come across photographic evidence of platform(s) on both routes, I will pm you the picture.
