In 1862 the line from {{stnlnk|Morpeth}} to {{stnlnk|Scotsgap}} opened. The next year the Northumberland Central Railway were authorised to construct a line from {{stnlnk|Scotsgap}} to Ford on the Berwick to Kelso line. They also were permitted to build a short branch line to Cornhill. Due to financial difficulties the line was to be built in stages[2] starting with the section from {{stnlnk|Scotsgap}} to {{stnlnk|Rothbury}} which was started in August 1869 and completed by November 1870. The North British Railway and the branch line became part of the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923. In September 1952 passenger services were withdrawn and the line closed in November 1963.[3] Constructed to serve a local colliery the station was poorly used, and was first downgraded to a halt,[4] and then closed in 1963. All that survives of the station is the stationmaster's house. {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line|next = Rothbury Line and station closed |previous = Fontburn Halt Line and station closed |route = North British Railway Rothbury Branch |col = {{NBR colour}} |lightcol={{NBR light}} }}{{end}}{{Rothbury Branch|collapse=yes}} References1. ^http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/b/brinkburn/index.shtml 2. ^http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/s/scots_gap/index.shtml 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.northumbrian-railways.co.uk/index.php?page=rothbury-branch |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2009-10-28 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091008175938/http://www.northumbrian-railways.co.uk/index.php?page=rothbury-branch |archivedate=8 October 2009 |df=dmy-all }} 4. ^http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/b/brinkburn/index.shtml External links
