The station, situated Script error: No such module "convert". west of Newcastle, serves the parishes of Stocksfield and Bywell 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.[1] The station opened in March 1835, following the commencement of passenger trains between Blaydon and Hexham.[2][3]

Stocksfield was reduced to an unstaffed halt in 1967, along with most of the other stations on the line that escaped the Beeching Axe. The former station buildings were subsequently demolished.

Facilities

The station has two platforms, both of which have seating, a waiting shelter and next train audio and visual displays. The westbound platform has a ticket machine, which accepts card or contactless payment only, and an emergency help point. Platforms are linked by a pre-grouping metal footbridge, similar to those at Riding Mill and Wylam, however there is step-free access to both platforms via the nearby road bridge. There is a small car park and cycle storage at the station.[4]

Stocksfield 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.[5]
