The South platform (Blaydon line) service was suspended on 3 September 1966 and the station closed to passengers on 1 May 1967.

[2] Despite having platforms serving different lines (and, officially, different companies at first), Scotswood was regarded as a single station.

By the mid-1880s new buildings, including waiting sheds, were completed, and the two sets of platforms were connected by bridge and subway.

The new station building, at the east end of the southernmost platform, was a modest brick structure with a small awning.

A similar wooden structure accommodated office and waiting facilities on the opposite platform.

Tracks were removed from Scotswood Bridge and eastward beyond Elswick, leaving only a one-mile siding from Newcastle.
