Lintley Halt is a railway station on the South Tynedale Railway, which runs between Slaggyford and Alston. The station is located about NaNabbr=NaNabbr= from the village of Slaggyford in Northumberland.
The station opened in April 2012, as part of the South Tynedale Railway, a narrow-gauge heritage railway in Cumbria and Northumberland. It was officially opened by Lord Inglewood in May 2012.[1] [2]
The station is located on the alignment of the former Alston Line, which ran from Haltwhistle to Alston, until the line's closure by the British Railways Board in May 1976.[3] However, unlike stations at Alston and Slaggyford, Lintley Halt was not part of the original line, instead being purpose-built for the heritage railway.
The South Tynedale Railway was extended from Lintley Hall to Slaggyford in June 2018, reopening the station following a 42-year closure.[4]
It is the eventual aim of the South Tynedale Railway for the narrow-gauge railway to serve the length of the former Alston Line, restoring the rail link between Haltwhistle and Alston.[5]
