Angerton railway station was a station serving the village of High Angerton in Northumberland, Northern England. It was located on the Wansbeck Railway, which diverged from the East Coast Main Line at Morpeth and joined the Border Counties Railway at Reedsmouth Junction.

History

Opened by the Blyth and Tyne (Wansbeck) Railway, then the North British Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 and was closed by the British Railways Board.

The site today

The station house is now in private hands and has been extended, and the platform still exists.
