Part 1 At the end of August 2024, we visited Kielder Water Reservoir, passing through Bellingham on the way. We noticed a disused railway for which a good number of structures and embankments/cuttings remained in place. This was the Border Counties Railway (BCR), a line connecting Hexham in Northumberland, with Riccarton Junction on the Waverley Route in Roxburghshire. The BCR was also known as the North Tyne Railway as it ran beside the River North Tyne for much of its length. http://rogerfarnworth.com/2024/09/16/th ... hollerton/ The line between Kielder and Falstone is now under the waters of the Kielder Water Reservoir. |
