On 17 October 1964, the final month of passenger services, a Blyth branch DMU in the foreground waits at the single branch platform. In the background another DMU is entering the main down platform. An NER coiled serpent seat and LNER running-in board can be seen on the branch platform. The expanse of sidings is a reminder that coal and other freight traffic was much more important than passenger revenue to the former Blyth & Tyne system.
