StoneRoad2013's photos with the keyword: buffer stops

The new "end of the line" buffer stops at Ashington ... the passenger trains have a new bay platform, whilst the biomass [freight] trains use the original route, which is double track here. . HFF --- there are extra fences at the moment, as the building complex to the left - which included what was a Wilko - is scheduled for demolition in the near future.

I believe this buffer stop marks the extent of the coal drop / siding behind what is now Kilfrost [aka Albion Works]. {It faces west, towards Haltwhistle Station, and part of the route appears to have been excavated away} Note : I have been told that the Varnish Works - a little further east from here - was also served by a siding from Haltwhistle Station, but that route is not obvious "on the ground" ... Ignoring the 2ft line that served the quarries on Hadrian's Wall with a route alongside the Haltwhistle Burn.
