Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox station Blaydon is a railway station on the Tyne Valley Line, which runs between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws via Шаблон:Rws. The station, situated Шаблон:Convert west of Newcastle, serves the town of Blaydon, Gateshead in Tyne and Wear, 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 Шаблон:Stnlnk.[2][3] Initially serving as the line's eastern terminus,[4] through services to Redheugh began in March 1837.[5]
A second cross-river line, operating over the Scotswood Bridge to a temporary terminus near the site of Шаблон:Stnlnk was opened in 1839, diverging immediately east of the station. It was not until January 1851 that Newcastle Central would be accessible using this route.[6]
The station was enlarged on the opening of the Derwent Valley Railway in 1867, with Blaydon Junction opening to its east; this enabled trains to run to Blackhill, Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Rws. This line closed to passengers in the 1950s, before fully closing in November 1963.
Blaydon was substantially rebuilt in 1912, with new red brick station buildings and glass canopies. In 1969, the station became an unstaffed halt, and the canopies were removed. The station buildings were demolished in 1977, due to neglect and persistent vandalism. Service levels were also infrequent for many years, with only a small number of services calling at peak times. Since 2013 however, the timetable has been upgraded and more trains now call (with a consequent improvement in usage, as can be seen in the statistics)
Services over Scotswood Bridge were withdrawn on 4 October 1982, with the line re-routed through Dunston and across the King Edward VII Bridge, using part of the original 1837 route, which had since only been used by freight.[4] Few traces of the former line now remain, though the position of the station signal box gives a clue as to the old alignment.
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, with platforms also linked by a footbridge. There is a small car park and cycle storage at the station.[7]
Blaydon 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.[8]
Services
Шаблон:Northern (train operating company) route 4 As of the December 2023 timetable change, there is an hourly service between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws, with additional trains at peak times. A small number of westbound trains terminate at Шаблон:Rws at peak times, whilst many eastbound trains extend to Шаблон:Rws via Шаблон:Rws or to Шаблон:Rws (peak only). On Sundays, services extend through to/from Carlisle but call only every two hours. All services are operated by Northern Trains.[9]
