Haydon Bridge railway station

Template:Short description Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates Template:Template other Haydon Bridge is a railway station on the Tyne Valley Line, which runs between Template:Rws and Template:Rws via Template:Rws. The station, situated west of Newcastle, serves the village of Haydon Bridge in Northumberland, England. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

History

The Newcastle and Carlisle Railway was formed in 1829, and was opened in stages. The station opened as a terminus in June 1836, following the opening of the line between Hexham and Haydon Bridge. In June 1838, the line was extended to Greenhead.

The nearby station at Fourstones closed in January 1967. In the same year, the station became an unstaffed halt, along with most of the other stations on the line that escaped the Beeching Axe. The original station building remains as a private residence.

The station's distinctive manually operated wooden level crossing gates were replaced by automated lifting barriers in January 2009, although they remain under the control of the adjacent North Eastern Railway signal box.

Facilities

The station has two platforms, both of which have a ticket machine (which accepts card or contactless payment only), seating, waiting shelter, next train audio and visual displays and an emergency help point. There is step-free access to both platforms by level crossing. There is a small car park at the station.

Haydon Bridge is part of the Northern Trains penalty fare network, meaning that a valid ticket or promise to pay notice is required prior to boarding the train.

Services

Since the December 2023 timetable change, there is an hourly service (with some two-hourly gaps on Sunday) between Newcastle and Carlisle via Template:Rws. Some services extend to Template:Rws or Template:Rws via Template:Rws at peak times or in the evening. All services are operated by Northern Trains.
