Wylam Railway Station

Facts and Figures

Wylam railway station is a railway station serving Wylam in Northumberland, England. It is located on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, 10 miles (16 km) west of Newcastle on the route to Carlisle. It was formerly one of two stations in Wylam, the other being North Wylam Station on the Scotswood, Newburn & Wylam Railway, which was closed along with most of the line in 1968. This was situated at the opposite end of Wylam Bridge and is now a car park.

Constructed in 1835, the Stationmaster's House is a Grade II* Listed Building, whilst the footbridge and signalbox are both Grade II Listed. The station is one of the earliest still in use in the world. Station Road crosses the line by a level crossing and the station layout is unusual in that the platforms are not opposite each other. The west-bound (Carlisle) platform is to the east of the level crossing alongside the stationmaster's house, while the east-bound (Newcastle) platform is to the west of the level crossing. The overline, elevated signal box, once a popular design for the NE line is now almost unique, the only other surviving signal box of this design is at Hexham.

The station has direct access, from the west-bound platform via a footbridge and stairs, to the former (now redeveloped as housing) RVI Convalescent Home, which was serviced by a direct 'hospital train' which ran from Newcastle to Wylam only.

The station is managed by Northern Rail.
