Slaggyford railway station (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Slaggyford was a railway station on the Alston Line, which ran between Haltwhistle and Alston. The station served the village of Slaggyford in Northumberland. The station, which was located 8+1⁄2 miles (13.7 km) from the junction with the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at Haltwhistle, was opened on 21 May 1852 by the North Eastern Railway. There were a number of unscheduled calling points on the section of the line between Slaggyford and Lambley, including those at Whitwham, Softley and Burnstones. Trains regularly stopped to allow passengers to board and alight, despite no platform or facilities being available at these locations. Following a 42-year closure, the station reopened in June 2018, as part of the South Tynedale Railway. (en)
