Nearby Railway Developments

The new Nexus rail training centre at South Shields has started on the ground
It's being built on the site of the NER/LNER/BR station (ie beyond the metro station) ......
..... up to the inter-war concrete road overbridge near the Tyne
Out of interest - a 1941 view of the same location with an earlier electric train
 - note the same bridge abutment at top left
Steam hauled trains are running near Alnwick
The Aln Valley Railway currently runs into the Alnwick-Alnmouth trackbed
up to this occupation overbridge - but with another mile of track materials in stock
