All aboard for memories of the trains, stations and railway lines which served South Tyneside.
The Shields Gazette photographers were there to capture the tracks, staff and trains which played their part from South Shields to Hebburn, Jarrow and Newcastle.
There’s the Marsden Rattler which transported miners, South Shields station, Westoe bridges, Hebburn on a busy day and work under way on lines near Jarrow.
If you were a passenger, railway worker or enthusiast, then this is the gallery for you.
Have a look and see if there is a scene that brings back memories. And if there is, get in touch to tell us more by emailing [email protected]
