Ponteland

7th September 2009

Ponteland was a small terminus north west of Newcastle. The line from South Gosforth was constructed under the 1896 Light Railways Act. Work began in 1900 but the line was not completed until 1905. In 1980 powers were obtained to build an extension to Darras Hall , a locality which was planned to be a large housing development for the more affluent. In the event development was sporadic and traffic on the extension, opened in 1913 never really developed. The rise of road transport saw passenger services withdrawn in 1929. Freight traffic continued to Ponteland until August 1967.
