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. In 1862 the line from {{stnlnk|Morpeth}} to Scotsgap opened, with an extension to Knowesgate opening in 1864. 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 in 1865. In September 1952 passenger services were withdrawn from the line, and the goods service from much of the line in November 1963. The station was closed completely with the line on 3 October 1966.[1] The station buildings remain as a private residence.[2] {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous = Woodburn Line and station closed |next = Scotsgap Line and station closed |route = North British Railway Wansbeck Railway |col = {{NBR colour}} |lightcol={{NBR light}} }}{{rail end}} References1. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/s/scots_gap/index.shtml| title=Scotsgap| work=Disused Stations| author=Catford, Nick| date=16 July 2011| }} 2. ^http://www.northumbrian-railways.co.uk/index.php?page=knowesgate External links
