Background

History

The station was opened on 1 July 1847 by the Newcastle and Berwick Railway. The station was situated on both sides of the level crossing on an unnamed lane about half-a-mile south west of the hamlet of West Chevington. On 5 September 1849, a branch line was opened to the port of Amble which diverged from the main line a mile north of Chevington though passenger services to were not introduced for another 30 years. Passenger services to Amble were replaced by bus services on 7 July 1930. In 1951 only 982 tickets were sold, an average of three per day. The station was closed to passengers on 15 September 1958 and closed completely on 10 August 1964 when goods traffic ceased.
