BERWICK-UPON-TWEED RAILWAY STATION

'Berwick-upon-Tweed railway station' serves the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland. It is located on the East Coast Main Line. It is the most northerly railway station in England, being only a few miles from the most northerly point in England - the Scottish border.
The station lies to the north of the Royal Border Bridge.
In 1847, the Great Hall of Berwick Castle had to be demolished to make way for the newly-built station.
For approximately 5 months in 1979, this was the terminal station for services from London Kings Cross after the East Coast Main Line was blocked by the collapse of Penmanshiel Tunnel. Buses linked this station with Dunbar, from where a railway shuttle service continued to Edinburgh Waverley.
