Jesmond [1st]
A restaurant car at Jesmond (old) station on 28 September 2008. The former Blyth & Tyne station, once part of the North Tyneside loop, was closed in 1978 and subsequently replaced by a new station on the Tyne & Wear Metro system which runs to the west of here. The old station now stands on a service spur from Manors, retained for empty stock movements to and from South Gosforth depot.� The restaurant car is GNR 1st open no 397, built in 1912, while the adjacent signal box is a modern replica, built as part of the Indian restaurant now occupying the site.
