Chollerton railway station served the village of Chollerton, Northumberland, England from 1859 to 1958 on the Border Counties Railway.
History
The station was opened on 1 December 1859 by the North British Railway. It was on the west side of the A6079 at the junction with an unclassified road and immediately southwest of Chollerton village. A goods loop and a coal depot were to the south. A small goods shed was sited at the south end of the platform. Instead of extending the platform, the NBR built a new one to the north with a wooden waiting shelter. The original buildings remained in use and the siding was adjusted so that one of the two docks used the old platform. There was a three-ton crane in the goods yard. The station closed to passengers on 15 October 1956[1] and closed completely on 1 September 1958.[2]
