Callerton Parkway before Airport. I believe that trains used to terminate at Bank Foot before the airport extension was built in 1991. And sorry no ideas about the station!

 

[Buttsy]

Thanks, getting my 'Cs' mixed up!

The penultimate station before the Airport is Callerton Parkway. Chillingham Road is between Byker and Walkergate on the St James' via the coast line.
