About Alston Train Station

Dating from 1852 as the terminus of the South Tynedale Railway, Alston station closed in 1976 but has been revived as the southern terminus of the narrow gauge South Tynedale Railway heritage line.

The original stone buildings have been preserved, offering visitors a glimpse of this once important market town station.

Alston represents how heritage railways can breathe new life into abandoned stations, preserving railway history while creating tourist attractions in remote rural areas.

The station now serves as a museum and gateway to the scenic North Pennines.
