Corbridge was reduced to an unstaffed halt in 1967, along with most of the other stations on the line that escaped the Beeching Axe. The original station buildings on the eastbound platform remain as a private residence.
In 2013, the original wrought and cast iron pre-grouping footbridge was replaced with a modern steel structure, similar in appearance to that of the one it replaced.[4]
In October 2019, a platform at the station was extended ahead of the introduction of new rolling stock, as part of the Great North Rail project.[5]
Facilities
The station has two platforms, both of which have a ticket machine (which accepts card or contactless payment only), seating, waiting shelter, next train audio and visual displays and an emergency help point. There is step-free access to the Newcastle-bound platform only. There is a small car park at the station.[6]
Corbridge is part of the Northern Trains penalty fare network, meaning that a valid ticket or promise to pay notice is required prior to boarding the train.[7]
As of the December 2021 timetable change, there is an hourly service between Newcastle and Hexham (or Carlisle on Sunday), with additional trains at peak times. Most trains extend to Morpeth (peak only) or Nunthorpe via Hartlepool. All services are operated by Northern Trains.[8]
