At the back of the shop / booking office there are some lamps, which look a bit like "Anglepoise" but on steroids.

Haltwhistle Railway Station (old postcard). Taken sometime between the two world wars (so 1920s - 1930s, the caption says the mid-30s). A very busy place, it looks like four engines working, with a multitude of rolling stock and sidings, even a turntable. Today (2021) there are just the two through lines (Newcastle / Carlisle) and a single, short siding remains in the goods yard, although the goods shed has gone, to be replaced by a signal cabin. The rest of the buildings, including the listed signal box and the footbridge remain. Recently, the South Tynedale Railway bought the land on which the Alston branch line train is standing. They have a long term aim of reaching Haltwhistle with their 2ft gauge track, despite the "bypass" having severed their embankment. Their most recent extension was to Slaggyford, but the Covid-19 pandemic caused them massive financial problems, effectively bankrupting their operational activities. The viaduct now carries a walking/cycle route.
