Forest Hall railway station (Blyth and Tyne Railway)
Forest Hall, also known as Foresthall, was a short-lived railway station on the Blyth and Tyne Railway. It served the village of Forest Hall in North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, England.
The station opened on 27 June 1864 when the Blyth and Tyne branch to Newcastle New Bridge Street started service. It closed on 1 March 1871, when the railway opened a relocated Benton station about half a mile to the west.
There is another nearby Forest Hall station on the East Coast Main Line, which was known as Benton until 1874, after this Forest Hall station had closed.
Today nothing remains of the station. It had a building on its south-eastern (up) platform. In 1904, the Benton south-east curve was built to connect the East Coast Main Line with the Blyth and Tyne and it cut through the old station site.
