It was located on the line between Morpeth and Reedsmouth, and was the junction for the branch line of the Northumberland Railway to Rothbury. HistoryIn 1859 Parliament authorised the Wansbeck Railway Company to build the line from {{stnlnk|Morpeth}} to {{stnlnk|Reedsmouth}}. Due to financial difficulties the line was built in stages.[1] In 1862 the line from {{stnlnk|Morpeth}} to Scotsgap opened, with an extension to Knowesgate opening a year later. At this time the Wansbeck Railway Company amalgamates with the North British Railway. It was only on 1 May 1865 that the line was completed. In 1923 the line and the North British Railway merged with the London and North Eastern Railway. The station was opened as Scots Gap in 1862, but was renamed Scotsgap in October 1903. In September 1952 passenger services were withdrawn from the line, and the goods service from much of the line in November 1963. The line was closed completely in the October 1966 with the station being closed on 3 October 1966.[1] The station building and platform remain and the site is now occupied by an agricultural merchant.[1] {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous = Middleton North Line and station closed |next = Knowesgate Line and station closed |route = North British Railway Wansbeck Railway |col = {{NBR colour}} |lightcol={{NBR light}} }}{{rail line |previous = |next = Longwitton Line and station closed |route = North British Railway Rothbury Branch |col = {{NBR colour}} |lightcol={{NBR light}} }}{{rail end}}{{Rothbury Branch|collapse=yes}}{{Wansbeck Railway|collapse=yes}} References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/s/scots_gap/index.shtml|title=Disused Stations: Scotsgap Station|website=www.subbrit.org.uk}} External links
