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.
