The thirteen-mile former NER branch from Haltwhistle to Alston managed to escape Beeching's axe in the 1960s, only to be closed in May 1976, following a long period of 'rationalisation' by British Rail. Plans to run the railway as a preserved line came to nought, although Alston does see trains again, in the form of the narrow gauge South Tyndale Railway which has been based here since the early 1980s. This view sees a class 101 DMU on arrival in 1975. The station once boasted an overall roof, engine shed alongside and a turntable. Image by Michael Brown. Kevin Lane Collection.
