Amble railway station


Amble railway station was the terminus of the Amble branch line, which diverged from the East Coast Main Line at Chevington in Northumberland, Northern England. The branch opened in 1849 and closed to passengers in 1930, leaving Acklington as the nearest station to Amble. The station remained open for goods and coal until final closure in 1969.

History

Opened by the North Eastern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station closed to passengers seven years later, but the goods service then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was then withdrawn by the British Railways Board.
The station has been demolished and the site is now a public carpark.
