NZ2463 : Castle Junction and Newcastle Station

taken 1 year ago, near to Gateshead, England

Castle Junction and Newcastle Station
Castle Junction and Newcastle Station
A much simplified crossing of what was once claimed to be the 'largest railway crossing in the world' - see NZ2463 : View from the keep. The rationalisation is a result of the closure of the Tynemouth Square platforms, where the car park is now, following the opening of the Tyne and Wear Metro, and the electrification of the East Coast Main Line.
