Alnwick railway station was the terminus of the Alnwick branch line, which diverged from the East Coast Main Line at Alnmouth in Northumberland, Northern England.
The branch fully opened on 19 August 1850 but was used by a special train on 6 August.[1] It closed for passengers in January 1968 and completely in October 1968. The station was also the terminus of the Cornhill branch line to Coldstream which closed for passengers in 1930.
History
The first station on the edge of the town opened in 1850. It was replaced by a station nearer the town centre opened in 1887 by the North Eastern Railway. It became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the North Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
The station was closed by the British Railways Board in 1968. The platforms have been in-filled, but the trainshed remains intact and in use, including by Barter Books.
The bookshop, with its model railway network, was featured in Michael Portillo's Great British Railway Journeys (first broadcast on BBC2, 23 January 2012) and Tim Dunn's The Architecture the Railways Built (first broadcast on Yesterday, 25 October 2021).
