Fallodon railway station was a private railway station built for Earl Grey at Fallodon Hall, Northumberland, England from 1847 to 1934 on the East Coast Main Line.

History[]

The station opened on 1 July 1847 by the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway as a private station. The station was situated on the north side of the level crossing on the lane branching off the B1340 a short distance northeast of Christon Bank village. The station closed completely on 30 May 1934. The station was demolished in the mid 60s. Although the platforms and buildings were removed, the forecourt of the old station building still remains with a short section of the wall.[1]
