The North Sunderland Railway was a four mile single track branch railway line in Northumberland, England, that ran from Chathill on the East Coast Mainline to Seahouses via the station of North Sunderland with a proposed extension to Bamburgh.

History

Authorised in 1892 the North Sunderland Railway was built privately to serve the newly constructed harbour at Seahouses[1]. Construction started in 1896, and the line opened in 1898 for freight on 1 August, and passengers on 18 December. The line was rarely profitable and thus the proposed station at Fleetham, and the extension to Bamburgh were never constructed.

The line was taken over by the LNER in 1939, and the line closed on 27 October 1951 and officially wound up in the April of 1952[2].
