We found the staff helpful, the station easy enough to navigate, etc... I was glad that we arrived early to find which platform our LNER train was on (#3) and then figure out what area to board based on our prebooked tickets. I didn't realize until it was too late that there was a designated warmer indoor area for us to wait. Bummer! Our train departed on time but did hit a delay on our route... clearly that is not the fault of the Newcastle Central Station, however. I'm not sure if/when I'll be back, but if you find yourself in the area, this is a beautiful station to come into or out of. Safe travels!

The station opened in August 1850, as part of the then Newcastle & Carlisle Railway and York, Newcastle & Berwick Railway. Now it's a Grade 1 listed building located in the city's Grainger Town area, to the west of the Castle Keep. The station was noted for its complex set of diamond crossings to the east of the station which facilitated access to the High Level Bridge and northbound East Coast Main Line and was said to be the greatest such crossing in the world. The crossing was the subject of many early-1900s post cards, titled The Largest Railway Crossing in the World, photographed from the castle (towards the station), or from the station towards the castle. Trains cross the River Tyne on one of two bridges. The older High Level Bridge, south-east of the station, was designed by Robert Stephenson opened on 27 September 1849. Its location meant north-south trains had to reverse in the station to continue their journey. The King Edward VII Bridge south-west of the station opened on 10 July 1906 allowing north-south trains to continue without reversing. The two bridges enable the trackwork north and south of the river to form a complete circle, allowing trains to be turned if necessary. The former Gateshead depot next to the connecting tracks on the south side of the Tyne, mirrored Newcastle station.

Goathland railway station is a typical countryside station, almost unchanged since its construction in 1865. The station has been restored to represent an NER country station post World War 1 circa 1922. The station is popular with tourists due to its appearances in Yorkshire TV's Heartbeat and the first of the Harry Potter films. The station has a newly refurbished Tea Room which is inside a Goods Warehouse. The station also has a traditional camping coach, which is let for holidays. This station (originally known as Goathland Mill) is on the deviation line opened by the North Eastern Railway in 1865 to avoid the cable-worked Beck Hole Incline, which was part of the original 1836 Whitby and Pickering Railway route. Known as Aidensfield in Heartbeat and Hogsmeade railway station in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this English village is a popular tourist destination.the line was filmed for Harry's journey. The engine used was originally GWR Hall Class 4-6-0 No.5972 Olton Hall. Built at Swindon in 1937, o.5972.Olton Hall was one of a class of 330 versatile mixed traffic locomotives, designed by Charles Collett for the Great Western Railway. No.5972 is now set to find new fame as the Hogwarts Express locomotive in the Warner Brothers' film of Harry Potter stories Renamed Hogwarts Castle and repainted into fictitious Hogwarts Railways bright red livery, No. 5972 appeared in the first session of filming at Goathland, on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The original Goathland station was located at the head of the incline, where there are still some Y&NM cottages, together with a single W&P one.The station buildings were to the design of the NER's architect Thomas Prosser and were very similar to those being built concurrently (by the same contractor, Thomas Nelson) on the Castleton to Grosmont line. The collection of buildings is very little altered since they were built - the last recorded change (apart from NYMR restoration) being in 1908. Goathland village is perhaps much better known as Aidensfield in Yorkshire TV's Heartbeat than its real name.
