Corbridge is a railway station on theTyne Valley Line, which runs betweenNewcastle andCarlisle viaHexham. The station, situated 19 miles 15 chains (19.2 mi; 30.9 km) west of Newcastle, serves the village ofCorbridge inNorthumberland, England. It is owned byNetwork Rail and managed byNorthern Trains.
TheNewcastle and Carlisle Railway was formed in 1829, and was opened in stages.[1] The station opened in March 1835, following the commencement of passenger trains betweenBlaydon andHexham.[2][3]
Corbridge was reduced to an unstaffed halt in 1967, along with most of the other stations on the line that escaped theBeeching Axe. The original station buildings on the eastbound platform remain as a private residence.
In 2013, the original wrought and cast ironpre-grouping footbridge was replaced with a modern steel structure, similar in appearance to that of the one it replaced.[4]
In October 2019, a platform at the station was extended ahead of the introduction of new rolling stock, as part of the Great North Rail project.[5]
The station has two platforms, both of which have a ticket machine (which accepts card orcontactless payment only), seating, waiting shelter, next train audio and visual displays and an emergency help point. There is step-free access to the Newcastle-bound platform only. There is a small car park at the station.[6]
Corbridge is part of the Northern Trainspenalty fare network, meaning that a valid ticket or promise to pay notice is required prior to boarding the train.[7]
