Consett (1862-1867)

I think the Consett station on this line opened in 1896 and closed in 1955...but to continue.....

Sorry that I keep taking time between postings, but Patricia is having one of the "bad days" in more than one respect this morning.

Bensham

From here we take the chord leading to the Durham Coast Line.

Not a problem

Springwell

Springwell

Springwell

I seem to be unable to trace the direct line connection from Bensham to Springwell. I can see one leading off in the direction of Gateshead, that will be the first posting submission, then followed by Pelaw (2nd station), then followed by Springwell

Brockley Whins

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Rule 8 extract from the quiz rules is shown below:-

Any station either opened or closed after the termination of its use as a heavy rail station by any rail transport organisation such as the Tyne and Wear Metro system, the Manchester Metrolink system, the Croydon Tramlink system, the Nottingham Express Transit system, the West Midlands Metro system, the Edinburgh Trams system and the Blackpool Tramway system is also NOT allowed to be used as a valid posting entry on this quiz.

Brockley Whins became a station on the Tyne and Wear Metro on 31st March 2002, so that and any other similarly converted station cannot be used as posting submissions on this quiz.

Monkwearmouth

The line from Bensham that my maps showed was the one that led to Gateshead at the start of this leg.

However, since it appers that all closed staions on the Durham Coast Line that are allowable have now been named, the quiz should be continued from Monkweamouth.

Sorry to say, matters at home are currently taking preference above all others.
