West Wylam......where the loop line starts


Subsequent investigations that are still in progress begin now to shed doubt on the claims for this very early station.


However, on the other side of the river is.......North Wylam

 

[dzug2]

North Wylam surely? West Wylam was a junction rather than a station? Or am I being a dense southerner?

North Wylam surely? West Wylam was a junction rather than a station? Or am I being a dense southerner?

This matter cropped up very many months ago on this quiz and I was reassurred by someone at the time in a PM that before North Wylam station was opened, there was a short lived station called West Wylam, near to the junction for the loop line. However, be assured that current investigations begin to cast doubt upon the veracity of this information that I accepted at the time in good faith.
UPDATE ON THE ABOVE
Full investigations revealed that whilst a temporary platform was constructed, made from railway sleepers and hardcore materials, this was to aid the unloading of wagons that were bringing materials for bridgeworks and junction re-construction.

Can you assist....

I am showing a station called Eryholme in between Croft Spa and Cowton.

However, to keep matters flowing onwards from Cowton...

Oops - you're right! Forgot to call at Eryholme. There'll be a "Please explain" awaiting me when I sign off!

Let's see if I can stop at Otterington
