Description:
The Blyth and Tyne was extending its system, and in 1860-1 opened a branch from Hartley to a terminus of its own on the north side of the main Tynemouth Road, some 500 metres to the west of the earlier site (HER 1200 the Oxford Street Terminus of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway). This site was suceeded in 1864 by a temporary site a little way to the north-east of its predecessor (HER 5118).
