Haltwhistle railway station

Haltwhistle is a railway station on the Tyne Valley Line, which runs between Newcastle and Carlisle via Hexham.

The station, situated 22 miles 66 chains (22.8 mi; 36.7 km) east of Carlisle, serves the market town of Haltwhistle in Northumberland, England.

In 1852, the station became a junction, with the opening of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway's branch line to Alston.

The station's signal box, constructed in 1901 by the North Eastern Railway, was taken out of use in 1993, following re-signalling to colour lights.

As of October 2020, in a project led by the Tyne Valley Community Rail Partnership, work is underway to refurbish the station's former waiting room buildings – at a cost of £500,000.

The station has two platforms, both of which have a ticket machine (which accepts card or contactless payment only), seating, waiting shelter, next train audio and visual displays and an emergency help point.
