Team Valley Railway (North Eastern Railway)

Introduction

These lines were built by the North Eastern Railway to complete a new East Coast Main Line approach to Newcastle Central without need of a reversal in that station for northbound trains. Today this is the East Coast Main Line and replaced the older Leamside Line.
