Newcastle & North Shields Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Newcastle & North Shields Railway was opened in 1839 from a station in Carliol Square in Newcastle upon Tyne to North Shields. It was later extended to Newcastle Central Station to the west and to Tynemouth in the East, initially at its own station but later to a through station linking with the Blyth & Tyne Railway. It was later absorbed by the North Eastern Railway. Almost all of the route is now part of the Tyne & Wear Metro.
