Summary edit

Description
English: Former site of Newcastle Forth Railway Station
Situated just west of Central Station, off Neville Street, this was for a time the line and former platforms of the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, a terminus for its Scotswood route on the north side of the Tyne. The old line running on a viaduct is now used for car parking NZ2463 : Cross Country train approaches Newcastle Central.

It was the second temporary station (and possibly the third) on the line used for passengers between 1847 and 1851 LinkExternal link

In 1851, the N&CR entered Central Station proper, sharing facilities with the North East Railway with which it would eventually fully merge in 1862.

Known as the Motorail Terminal, it is a Grade II Listed Building (List entry Number: 1326654).

The former Goods Office of the NER is on the right, built in 1870 NZ2463 : Cross Country train approaches Newcastle Central following the curve of the line NZ2463 : Departing south from Newcastle Central station.
