The station in 1988

Corbridge railway station serves the town of Corbridge in Northumberland, England. The railway station is located on the Tyne Valley Line which runs from Newcastle upon Tyne to Carlisle, and is managed by Northern Rail who provide almost all passenger train services. It is unstaffed, although the station buildings on the eastbound platform still survive (in private ownership).

History

The Newcastle and Carlisle Railway was formed in 1829, and was opened in stages. The first section of that line to open for passenger trains was between Blaydon and Hexham, which was formally opened on 3 March 1835, with normal services beginning either the next day, or on 9 March 1835. Corbridge was an intermediate station on that line, between Riding Mill and Hexham.

Services

The station has an hourly service to both Newcastle and Hexham on weekdays and Saturdays, with some evening trains continuing on to Carlisle. Many daytime eastbound trains continue to Sunderland and Middlesbrough. There is also an hourly service each way on Sundays, with all trains running through to Carlisle.
