  • Jeeez!! That seemed close pulling in to that station!!

  • @Grungefanyohan - no, this is just a foreshortening effect due to the telephoto lens on the JVC camera. Regards, AF

  • My, I'd forgotten just how wobbly the pointwork at the Raine Factory (near Derwenthaugh) was. I remember how the trains slowed right down just there, and ditto just east of Dunstan Station. It's hard to imagine such confiurations of track on a modern Tyne Valley Line today.

  • The disused station towards the end is Dunston, now reopened again but only visited by about two trains (and zero passengers) a day! Stella South power station at the start is now a housing estate, both Addison and the following box are closed, the sidings are cleared and the land unoccupied. The water tank at Blaydon has gone and the footbridge replaced (about three trains a day stop there now) whilst all of the industry between Derwenthaugh and Dunston (and associated sidings) has vanished.
