Falstone Railway Station (1861 - 1958)


The railway station at Falstone was built on a line of the Border Counties Railway, which had been absorbed into the North Eastern Railway by the time the station opened in 1861. The station was closed to passengers on the 15th of October 1956, and closed to freight two years later. The station and platform survive; the main station building is now a private residence and The Waiting Room is a holiday let.
