There was a time when buses from Hexham travelled along Derwentwater Road past the Ford Garage there.
Then they stopped, I believe (memory is hazy).
I admit that that was at least ten years ago.
I walked to Dunston Station - which was deserted with no indication of train times.
Eventually a train approached, slowed and stopped, briefly, but didn't open the doors before driving off.
I discovered that (at that time) Dunston was an abandoned, derelict, station.
