Rothbury was the terminus of the line with a turntable at the end of the track. HistoryIn 1859 Parliament authorised the Wansbeck Railway Company to build the line from {{stnlnk|Morpeth}} to {{stnlnk|Reedsmouth}}. 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[1] beginning 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 In September 1952 passenger services were withdrawn and the line closed in November 1963.[2] Originally built in wood, the station was rebuilt in stone in 1899. It has been demolished and the site is now an industrial estate. {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line|next = |previous = Brinkburn Line and station closed |route = North British Railway Rothbury Branch |col = {{NBR colour}} |lightcol={{NBR light}} }}{{rail end}}{{Rothbury Branch|collapse=yes}} References1. ^http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/s/scots_gap/index.shtml 2. ^{{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 }} External links
