Slaggyford was a railway station on the Alston Line, which ran between Haltwhistle and Alston. The station served the village of Slaggyford in Northumberland.
The station, which was located 8+1⁄2 miles (13.7 km) from the junction with the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at Haltwhistle, was opened on 21 May 1852 by the North Eastern Railway.[1]
There were a number of unscheduled calling points on the section of the line between Slaggyford and Lambley, including those at Whitwham, Softley and Burnstones.[2] Trains regularly stopped to allow passengers to board and alight, despite no platform or facilities being available at these locations.
Following a 42-year closure, the station reopened in June 2018, as part of the South Tynedale Railway.[3]
