History
The Newcastle and Carlisle Railway was formed in 1829, and was opened in stages.[1] The first section of that line to open for passenger trains was between Blaydon and Hexham, which was formally opened on 3 March 1835,[2] with normal services beginning either the next day,[2] or on 9 March 1835.[3] Corbridge was an intermediate station on that line, between Riding Mill and Hexham.[4]
Services
The station has an hourly service to both Newcastle and Hexham on weekdays and Saturdays, with some evening trains continuing on to Carlisle. Many daytime eastbound trains continue to Sunderland and Middlesbrough. There is also an hourly service each way on Sundays, with all trains running through to Carlisle.
