Monkseaton

Push-pull fitted G5 0-4-4-T no 67261 of Blyth North (52F) stands at Monkseaton station around 1958 with a train off the Blyth and Tyne 'Avenue' branch. Monkseaton provided a connection for trains from Blyth with the electric services into Newcastle. The G5 was withdrawn at the end of 1958 with the B&T line north closing in 1964. Nowadays Monkseaton is served by trains on the Tyne & Wear Metro. See image 55153..
