Railway Memories No.28 features a whole range of memorable scenes
from the famous expresses of the East Coast main line to the
humble, dirty coal trains that ground their way unceasingly around
the local network, from the world's oldest railway only a few years
from its 300th birthday to Tyneside's pioneering electric commuter
services,from the great bridges and magnificent stations to engine
sheds and wayside halts. Besides the main line railways, the area's
second rail network, just as extensive but less well known is also
featured - that of the National Coal Board, descended from the
earliest wagonways, which bound the pits to each other and to
riverside staiths and the main line system until becoming extinct
in the late 1980s. Railway Memories No.28 opens with informative
text which tells the story of Tyneside's rail systems from the
world's earliest forms of rail transport in the 1600s to the Metro
and electrification of the East Coast main line in the 1980s.
Locations featured include: Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Whitley Bay,
Tynemouth, Ponteland, Gateshead, Jarrow, South Shields,
Dunston-on-Tyne, the Tanfield branch, Blaydon, Wylam, Hexham,
Allendale, Haltwhistle, Alston.
